Sorry, did the artilcle cover off who is paying for all this tourism? What is it that he thinks he is doing? Or trying to do? Was he on vacation or official business?
Thucydides said:Mr Rae should be congratulated for discovering that words and actions do have consequences.
Imagine if Mr Paul Martin Jr. had stepped off the airplane? Hosting a fundraising dinner for a LTTE front as a minister of the crown would really have impressed the Government of Sri Lanka to no end, and we might be reading about how the Canadian Ambassador was busy trying to get Mr Martin out of the local jail instead of just a deportation........

Journeyman said:Sorry, but Rae's quotes in the article tell his view -- everyone else is wrong or lying.
He's learned nothing. :

Bankrolling War; Canadian Tamils a top cash source, secret report says
Stewart Bell, National Post
Published: Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Canada was one of the top sources of funding for Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers rebels, providing up to $12-million a year, says a secret intelligence report obtained by the National Post.
The Tamil Tigers were defeated in May, ending Sri Lanka's long civil war, but in a classified report last year federal officials wrote that the rebels were getting much of their money from Canada.
The rebels are also known as the LTTE.
"Canada's Tamil community has been among the LTTE's largest sources of funds, having contributed up to $10-to $12-million annually in past years," the report says.
