#1 "There has been no comment from the rebels, and there is no way of confirming any of the claims as independent journalists are barred from travelling to the conflict zone. Aid agencies and human rights workers are also barred from areas where the Sri Lanka military is active."

And fist-shaking condemnation by socialist Europeans, Arabs, and leftist liberal idiots of all stripes??? [::crickets chirping::]

Compare/contrast with Israel. Anti-semitism, anyone? How about news-whores breathlessly waiting for Obama to weigh in? Urgent calls to stop the vicious cycle of violence? Don't the Lankans know fighting terrorists only makes them stronger? It's a lost cause! The military CAN'T win!!!

OH, TEH SUFFERING. TEH HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RED THINGY -- WHERE R U??????

#2 Aid agencies and human rights workers are also barred from areas where the Sri Lanka military is active.

Could be one of the reasons they're winning.

#3 Unfortunately for the Tamils, they don't have the publicity machine that the Gazooks have had these last few decades.
