Anu Dumbo,
DBS's life would be in danger as he is living in Sri Lanka.
Did you read his letter to the Rajapakshe who now owns nation paper ?
Every CHild knows that DBS though lives in Canada has more contacts all over sorry lanka.
I too had to experience internal censorship last week. As for myself I am not a defence writer though I write about the war at times. But in recent times I have devoted much space in my columns to the war and related developments. This is because our regular military affairs writer Senpathy (Keith) is no more with the paper. Since the war in the wanni is currently the hot topic I did not want our readers short- changed in this respect. Since there was also a specific request from Lalith I have been functioning like an unofficial defence correspondent in recent times though often spotlighting the predicament of people affected by the fighting.
Last week I wrote one article about the advances made by the army in three places in the Wanni. I had also planned on writing about the LTTE bombing in Trincomalee. I had spoken with many Trinco residents on the phone and obtained information that contradicted claims made in Colombo about the bombing.
To my disappointment I was prevented from writing about the new information I had gathered. I was told that it would be provocative to those in the corridors of power. So there was no news or article in The Nation about the Trincomalee bombing. Sadly for The Nation all other newspapers had a lot to say on the incident. Obviously I was angered at this and intended pursuing the matter during this week with those concerned. I wanted to point out that I could not continue writing about the war from a military perspective alone and that if and when the LTTE struck decisively such acts should also be written about.
I also felt that this action was but a straw in the wind. I felt that things could only get worse and thought to myself that the time for moving out was drawing near. I was only pondering When ? However events began overtaking

LTT crashed explosive laden trucks to SLA Camps.
SLAF bombed an orphanage killing 58 school girls. Hopefully, LTTE never tried such a barbaric act on children voluntary !
SLAF destroyed so many civilian's homes and infrastructures that what LTTE destroyed in South, is nothing if compared. |

It seems that SLA is planning to do amphibious landing at Poonaryan instead of trying to break defense lines at Nachchikuda.
Mulativ coast lines may be better for amphibious landings.
Anyway, poonaryn is also a good possibility depending on the exact location with good reinforcements. |

You have sidelined one scinario !
The Tamil civilians kept under force in Wanni.
Now that a safe passage is opned, they will start the flood gates.
With that intelligence and also LTTE's shield will erode.
Above all if Tamils realize like Sinhalese they too had some balls then they alone can be rebelious and that insergency will play havoc.
The point is Tamils are very timid. |
