The last words of a Sri Lankan Journalist

On the Politics section I have decided to include an editorial written by Lasantha Wickrematunge, a newspaper editor and journalist for The Sunday Leader in Sri Lanka, and his prophetic statement that he would be murdered and giving clues as to whom he suspected would be responsible.

I first heard his posthumously presented words which were dramatized on a BBC World Service radio program and they shook me so strongly I cried. I cannot improve upon his words, thus I have decided to include all of the editorial, and I urge anyone who looks at this blog to read it.

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
