JVP website LankaTruth reports that General will contest general election with JVP using symbol "trophy". They are so disappointed about UNP contesting separately using symbol "Elephant". They say it is unethical for UNP to contest alone while SF is in jail.
Why JVP can't contest under "elephant" symbol. Symbol is symbol nothing else. What matters is policies, if they have any. This is another attempt to mislead masses. They don't want to marry UNP, but want to live together with them. Hope they will learn a lesson this time.

Afghan Massacre - The Convoy of Death
The Dasht-i-Leili massacre occurred in December 2001 during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan where between 250 and 3,000 (depending on sources) Taliban prisoners were shot and/or suffocated to death in metal truck containers, while being transferred by U.S. and Northern Alliance soldiers from Kunduz to Sheberghan prison through the Dasht-i-Leili desert in Afghanistan.

The SundayLeader
I looked at the SudayLeader online edition early this morning to see the status of the story they carried out last week. They say that clarification is made on the first page but I could not find it. But found this paragraph in their political column. It is very interesting. Not sure what their intensions are.
"Well, most everybody had forgotten that the General had said as much last July – in a speech made in Ambalangoda when he was being feted by his old school. At that speech he did not make the allegation that his orders emanated from the Defence Secretary – but he certainly made the statement that LTTE cadres were killed in the process of surrendering. His claims made in July found its way into the report commissioned by the US Congress and it was one of the points highlighted by the US in their quest to have an investigation into war crimes.
What needs to be said at this juncture however is that the General to his credit refused to refute the lead story in The Sunday Leader last week, despite intense pressures from his alliance partners to do so. At a hurriedly summoned meeting one hour before he was to meet the press he insisted “I cannot and will not deny the story,” he told The Sunday Leader. At this meeting were Mangala Samaraweera, Tiran Alles, Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Vijitha Herath.
They also have carried out an article saying Ranil Wickramasingha want be executive prime minister. My opinion is that Ranil is better choice than Fonseka. But Ranil is hated by many of the people in this country. I don't think the SundayLeader is unaware of this. Wonder whether what JVP is saying now(if they have a say!). So now I think what SB is saying true.

However, the General’s team of alliance partners was strongly of the view that the story would entail a serious political fall-out for him when the campaign proper kicked off. After much arguing and debate, the General in consultation with his political alliance agreed that he would issue a ‘clarification’ of what exactly happened on the ground. “It will not be a denial but a clarification,” he said.
This clarification he requested we carry in our newspaper this week. Which we have done on page one as agreed."

Dhoni's post match interview.
Ravi S: Well done. It was a tough game.
Dhoni: Well not really. We lost some wickets initially. We wanted give some batting practice to our middle and tail. So they did exceptionally well.
Ravi S: But last time Sri Lanka came close chasing 413 and today they chase down 301 easily.
Dhoni: Actually we don't think of these one day matches against Sri Lanka as international matches. I am not sure about this but the statistics shows that. In the last match we scored 413. It is only batting practice. We are preparing for the next series against Australia.
Ravi S: What do you think about India's bowling?
Dhoni:- Well they are quite good. Last time we gave runs initially and gave our bowlers a challenge. They manage to do that. Today we thought of giving tougher challenge. They came really close.
Ravi S: You scored a century today. Your average is over 50 in these one day matches. What is the secrete?
Dhoni: If openers scored well and put runs on the board and destroy the confidence of bowlers I come top in the order. If the ball is doing a bit and wicket are falling I come down the order. That way I can keep my average up.

Sanath for Premiership?
I got to know that Sanath Jayasuriya has been sidelined from our cricket team. I think captain Sangakkara wants him out of the playing eleven. But he does not have the courage to remove him because Sanath is one of the heros in Sri Lanka.
Santath Jayasuriya sould write a letter of retirement to the selection committee that he feels bad because he was sidelined from the team. He can not be mere passenger wasting public money. He should say that he wasone of the pioneers of world cup win in 96. He should retire from all forms of cricket to serve the country to free people from this corrupt captaincy.
Unfortunately he is little late. Because the nomination date was over. But he has all the qualifications. He is clean. No allegations of match fixing like Arjuna at anytime. He is a all rounder. Has destroyed all oppositions into pieces. Has a good cricketing brain. Has commanded the team to many victories. He is also from south.
The general election is coming. The JVPers are saying there is another Sarath for premiership in caretaker government. JVP has to change one letter. (They should be able to do this very easily looking at their history.)
Lets start the Facebook group Sanath for premiership 2010.......
