I expect Stang would respond by arguing that i took those lines of his out of context ... He might say he didn';t justify the killing but was trying to present a more 'human' and 'balanced' pic of Samak.. this i sort of agree with (bec Samak is /was a human being after all) but i feel there's something between the line abt some sort of justification for what people like Thanom/prapas (or samak??) had done or conceded to..
