PREZ Rajapakse is one helluva smart cookie. Now that he's managed to keep Tamilnadu's top politicians off his back until major military ops are over, he has thrown them a bone that cannot be ignored, nor taken lightly. The Sri Lankan president has invited both Chief Minister of TN, Muthuvel Karunanidhi and his opponent Jayalalitha Jeyaram to visit northern Sri Lanka and also to intervene in obtaining the release of civillians held as a human shield by the LTTE. How this interesting situation pans out will need to be closely watched.
In other news, the Brits switched their tone, condemned the beaten LTTE again as terrorists and praised Sri Lanka's military gains against the terrorists. Similarly, the Danes are suddenly ready to ban the LTTE's fund raising organ, the TRO while always welcome Akashi of Japan is fully behind the military solution to Tamil Tiger terrorism and promised further support for development of the liberated areas.
Other unverified sources claim that the Sea-tiger chief Soosai has surrendered to the SLA.
