I can't get past the concept that it's somehow proper to declare war and put soldiers into harm's way because of a single citizen who might have done wrong. Regardless of whether she did or didn't or how corrupt or not the Laotian government is, how is all-out war (since war by half-measure is a recipe for failure) even an option?
