The Foreign Ministry has filed a lawsuit against three Puea Thai Party MPs who it says leaked classified documents to the public.
Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, secretary to the foreign minister, and acting Crime Suppression Division (CSD) chief Supisal Pakdinarunart said the lawsuit was filed on Wednesday naming Jatuporn Prompan, Natthawut Saikua and Kobkaew Pikulthong.
They accuse them of damaging the ministry by disclosing two sets of classified documents to the public. The lawsuit was filed at the CSD.
Mr Jatuporn, Mr Natthawut and Ms Kobkaew are also members of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship.
Mr Chavanond said the documents were aired on the Truth Today television programme on Dec 17, and by Mr Jatuporn on Wednesday.
Written by the ministry, they suggest one response to the souring of relations between Cambodia and Thailand.
The document identified former leader Thaksin Shinawatra as the source of the problem, and suggested it be "eliminated" at source.
Mr Jatuporn said he took that to mean the government wanted Thaksin killed.
Mr Chavanond said the ministry was also gathering evidence to file a suit against Thaksin, after he translated the two papers and posted them on his website.
The documents contain the ministry's analysis of Thai-Cambodian relations and measures to handle the situation, he said.
"The leaked documents were considered a national strategy," Mr Chavanond said.
"The disclosure makes the ministry's work more difficult because the neighbouring country knows Thailand's position and could adjust its strategy to prevail over us."

During Sihanouk when accused as traitor the victim will be fired by a squad team. Will Mr Jatuporn, Mr Natthawut and Ms Kobkaew's fate will be like that?
Thailand had help supplies weapons to Pol Pot's army to kill Khmers...
