    what goes around comes around.Sarath Fonseka didn't think he had to face the same music as he gave to Major Pannipitiya.

    Mylanka Tuesday, 05 October 2010 11:07 AM

    kassa Tuesday, 05 October 2010 11:39 AM

    only this?

    daham Tuesday, 05 October 2010 11:44 AM

    What will happen if SF found guilty for White Flag case. Will RW request the HE at that instance also to release SF?

    rosh Tuesday, 05 October 2010 12:35 PM

    oh that means it will go back to Ranil

    haneef mohamed Tuesday, 05 October 2010 01:05 PM

    haneef mohamed Tuesday, 05 October 2010 01:07 PM

    Yehiya-Doha Tuesday, 05 October 2010 01:07 PM

    Dear Mr. RW. Are you honestly doing this job.

    Jaya Tuesday, 05 October 2010 02:42 PM

    At last he did it

    charu Tuesday, 05 October 2010 03:00 PM

    You don't make any sense. He is our smartest leader but with half witted people like you he can't earn votes.

    Yuri Tuesday, 05 October 2010 03:26 PM

    Its a God will who can stop it! Imagin all the children killed in Vanni !

    OscarWilde Tuesday, 05 October 2010 11:04 AM

    Who knows??? MR might listen to him; after all one wants to heed the requests of bosom buddies!

    Hippo Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:00 PM

    Was waving the white flag a military secret?

    Kalisang Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:28 PM

    Mara lion kenek thamai !

    Kalisang Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:29 PM

    you are quarter-witted to talk like this charulatha.

    IrajCalifornia Wednesday, 06 October 2010 12:35 AM

    Wait till the high court decision then you and your leader SF will see white flags ...!!!

    Hash Wednesday, 06 October 2010 01:41 AM

    He is again trying to use SF for his survival.

    wicky Wednesday, 06 October 2010 02:51 AM

    This is the first step needed if we are going to international courts. So there is no meaning in chalanging RW's intergrity or honesty.

    Thilini Senanayake Wednesday, 06 October 2010 03:54 AM

    I am appreciate Ur this work & it is greatful think. Hw ever we must release The SF With his Stripped millitary rank. He is Valuble person for us.

    Josh Wednesday, 06 October 2010 05:44 AM

    It's a worthy request but MR motives could be sinister

    harsha Wednesday, 06 October 2010 05:44 AM

    I feel sorry for you and SF. Please address to the point.

    hen ling, Singapore Wednesday, 06 October 2010 11:28 AM

    It disgusting to read your comment.
    If the coup was succeed by SF, MR killed, Sri Lanka will be worst than Somalia to live in. Think tank , lankan.

    Tm Abay Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:17 AM

    Don't lie men. U both decided on this

    Mercy Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:46 AM

    Well, did you do that honestly Mr RW ? or did you ask to make it 60 months ?

    Percy Mandawala Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:51 AM

    Thank you Mr Wickramasighe. Better late than never. Let us see what happend now?

    Sampath Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:52 AM

    Well done sir , This is what we need today

    Nishantha Rajapakse Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:53 AM

    nation will soon request mahinda to get on knees and say sorry!!! He bloody should!

    Fayad Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:58 AM

    We need SF out also you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Roshan DW Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:01 AM

    Interesting ..waht kind if response from MR can we expect? If he is wise he will pardon,at some point

    Saradial Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:04 AM

    Letter will go to dustbin.

    DHA Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:05 AM

    coommmooonnn Ranil this is your best chance to make an impact....!!!

    Lokka Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:06 AM

    Ranil should have asked fonseka, not to expose military secrets at the beginning. Now no point of appealing as fonseka himself has already made a mistake.

    Fayad Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:08 AM

    All wants SF release from jail & reinstatement of his ranks
    for you also release from UNP & strip ranks

    Hirantha Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:08 AM

    GOOD MOVE.

    bassa Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:44 AM

    as if MR listen..

    Tm Abay Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:18 AM

    It's the nation who'll B sorry hahaha!

    mayu Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:45 AM

    there wont b any reply. just wait and see!!!

    Dilan Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:16 AM

    I am guessing RW must be thinking if MR listens to him and gets SF released.He can justify him self to stay in the UNP longer.

    harsha Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:22 AM

    Whay cant Fonseka him self make an appeal,rather than holing protests across the world.

    Malin Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:30 AM

    Are you calling this foolish Guy Sir ?

    Katussa Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:31 AM

    Could be a part of the overall plan by MR for if he does accede its going to cost the Opposition dearly. We got to keep our fingers crossed on this drama.

    NISSANKA Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:37 AM

    This is all Fonseka's own making. He dug a big hole for himself. He should have been more smarter/tactful..

    Colombo Boy Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:37 AM

    Good Move!!

    KD Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:56 AM

    RW trying to earn political mileage out of SF.

    aruna Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:57 AM
