Why don't you just change the word "intelligent" to 'intelligence' so that that story reads properly?

The Truth will come out soon. Lasantha was a grate fearless Journalist, Grate man.
Burampi Friday, 13 May 2011 04:10 AM
We want the truth to know, Who is behind this killing. Some one can harm this person.
Sue Friday, 13 May 2011 04:32 AM
If the witness can state without fear which Senior Army Officer the TID wanted implicated, the mystery of who killed Lasantha will most probably be solved.

At this rate all you guys who write on this comments column including me will have to apply for asylum. The curse of our country are the politicians. They have no regard to life nor ethics. We should all boycott elections to the point where the abstentions are greater than the voters to drive a point home to these scum bags.

I salute him for his guts. Still there are some who will bow down only to justice and law

Nobody can be trusted. His statement implies TID conspiracy. But is the officer himself a part of anti TID conspiracy. Usually intelligence cardres are double agents. He could be tru and also he could be a lier. We do not know what the truth is.
deepal Thursday, 12 May 2011 10:37 AM
Dear Lasantha, still we love you !

The Truth is out There, but there could be a serious threat to his life for coming out with the truth: the rarest and most dangerous commodity in the country at the moment.
