The reason why i think the BBC has tended towards the LTTE is much to do with<BR/><BR/>a) the origins of those in charge behind the scenes (if i am tld something day-in, day-out i have not had a chance to verify personally and the news continues to flood in spun in a community-centric way, i will evenually beleive it to be true!);<BR/><BR/>b) the pro-LTTE community outnumber the anti-LTTE community by about 5 to 1 in the UK and perhaps Europe (their size, excellent co-ordination, wealth and increasing influence make them a force to be reckonned with - MPs curry their favour for votes);<BR/><BR/>c) the Foreign Office has excelent links with the BBC - they fund some parts of it - and they always (with one or two rare exeptions) reflect govt policy (e.g. note their approach to Mugabe, who remains very popular among Africans and African leaders regardless)<BR/><BR/>Having said all this, i think time is on our side.

However,in Sri Lankan context there is a another player. The role played by I/NGOs may be second only to media. The disinformation campaign they carry out aginst the SL securitry forces in particular and the state in general is enormous. The so called international community always relys on theses liars.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781527194816345968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-44960914781168313212007-11-20T07:42:00.000+05:302007-11-20T07:42:00.000+05:30Thank you, Defense Wire.your article inspired me a...Thank you, Defense Wire.<BR/>your article inspired me a lot.
