Thai authorities confirmed today that a mentally ill Canadian explosives expert was missing in Thailand but said they did not believe he posed a threat to the upcoming APEC summit.

Thai Interior Minister Wan Muhamad Nor Matha said that Montgomery Paisley, a 40-year-old military veteran who served in Afghanistan, was in the country on an expired visa.

But Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is playing host to 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum leaders tomorrow and on Tuesday, downplayed the threat.

Lieutenant General Jumpon rejected any connection between Mr Paisley and groups such as terror network al-Qaeda, but expressed concern that ill-intentioned people may mislead him to use his bomb-making information.

2. Oh, really?

"We do not think that information in his computer would be used to mount any incident, but in the long term it could be exploited," he said. (snip/...)

Who would ever have thought that hiring mentally ill people to work in bomb-making seems like a good idea, or are they simply trying to discredit him before he surfaces again?

intriguing scenario: missing loonie does in smirk; cheney becomes prez; cheney chooses frist as his VP (bypassing hastert-doughboy); cheney's pacemaker fails/he's indicted for outing plame; frist becomes prez and chooses some freak like santorum as VP.

makes one wonder, doesn't it?
