http://bailaman.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-tamil-tiger-leader-pathmanathan.html Since Operation Watershed in 2006 it has gone downhill for the LTTE. Prabhakaran's decision to take control of territory in the east during the ceasefire backfired badly, and led to the complete destruction of his organisation. KP's arrest comes Sixteen days after the Tigers announced that he would head the Tamil Tigers. If he is truly under custody, this will then most certainly be the final nail in the coffin. I doubt the sympathisers of the movement have the patience to put up with this nonsense. The only obvious way forward for Sri Lanka's Tamils is to understand that criminals like KP should not be entrusted with the task of representing their children. Tamils need to understand that the government is not their enemy. They may not be perfect, but cooperation is what is needed to achieve your goals. Rebellions, insurgencies and war has achieved nothing for you. less
