 Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has long complained of press criticism. But he sought to turn the tables on Thursday with a new tactic - sounding a buzzer every time reporters ask questions he deems "not constructive." To the surprise of journalists and colleagues alike, Thaksin raised a buzzer - which displayed an X sign - from behind the podium to indicate his disapproval of some questions asked at the first in a new series of weekly news conferences. The button-pushing Thaksin sounded the alarm when a Thai newspaperman asked why the government had failed to seek parliamentary consent before introducing an emergency decree in the volatile southern provinces, where a Muslim insurgency has taken hold.
