Thaksin's comeback fuels media chaos

<p>Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's return to the Thai political scene has sparked a frenzy across all media spectrums. Such a brouhaha is understandable. Thaksin is a political figure associated with multiple scandals, an ideal target for investigative journalists. Interestingly, this time around, the exposés are not coming from journos. Instead, they come from Thaksin's inner circle -- his close friends and former aides.</p>

20 yrs after the first complaints against predatory #PhiladelphiaPD Detective #PhillipNordo were filed, he was finally sentenced to 24+ yrs in prison for a series of #rapes, #OfficialOppression , witness intimidation and other abuses of his #LawEnforcement power.

#PhillyInquirer #InvestigativeReporters spent years tracking Nordo, and his victims and have uploaded an in depth report to award winning #RevealNews .
