Is Fonseka’s arrest legal? I’m no lawyer but I think it is. We know as well as Fonseka knows that he did make that stupid statement on The Sunday Leader. A lot can be said about this, but mainly it was just plain dumb. He can be rightfully punished, because this statement definitely hurt the country. Something like that coming out from an Ex-Army Commander is always going to hurt… What the government is doing is even dumber, and in the long run will hurt the country even more. What they’re saying is that “Fonseka revealed army secrets.” So what the government is saying is that “yes, we did what he said we did. But it was wrong and traitorous for him to reveal it to the public.”… I believe that when it comes to war, you have to do what you have to do, and that sometimes you should abandon code if you have to. I like what they did. People like Nadesan had it coming. But war crimes are war crimes, and it is dumb for the government to acknowledge the fact the did commit war crimes. That is exactly what they’re doing… The idea that Fonseka planned a coup is ridiculous to the point that the word ‘ridiculous’ made ridiculous. It’s only in Wimal Weerawansha’s fantasy world that people launch coups from five star hotels… But as we all know, this arrest has nothing to with Fonseka revealing war crimes, or Fonseka planning a coup. This is about taking vengeance. Fonseka went against Mahinda, and it is a crime enough to get him arrested… More importantly, this is about screwing the guy who’s going to screw you before he screws you. Mahinda sees Fonseka as a potential threat, so he’s eliminating that threat. Anyone who has a basic understanding of SL politics knows this is true… As to all people should be equal in front of the law, true, that should be the case. So why’s Mervyn Silva still at large?

The Excreting Nut (Shittingnut) continues to excrete on my blog, asking the same questions again and again, all of to which I’ve answered countless times. He is pissed at me for proving him to be a non-libertarian Mahinda propagandist, and for exposing him to be a liar… Btw Sittingnut, great photograph.

Here’s an excerpt from Asian Tribune:
Brigadier Wijesri, the head of the Military Police says that they have come to make a military arrest and reads out charges against him.
The main charges are:
• Politicking whilst in uniform
• Conspiring against the Commander-in-Chief whilst in Service,
• Harboring more than 1,500 deserters whilst on service,
• And corrupt practices in relating to military procurements
See the fourth one? We all know that is real. The other three charges are yet to be materilized, but the fact is SF has at least one misdeed against him that is true. So why would anyone object him being arrested? Army desserters are being arrested just because they have overstayed their vacation. And nobody says those arresting is wrong. But when a person who housed 1500 odd deserters get arrested, people start fussing. Get the fact up and clear, sonny. Wait for the verdict from court marshal and then blog.

Who cares about what an unknown brigadier says. Gotabhaya Rajapakse clearly said to the BBC that SF divulged certain security secrets to the public. He was referring to the Sunday Leader article… My problem is not with the arrest itself. As far as I know, there’s nothing illegal about it. My problem is this. The government is using the law as a political tool. How can you explain the fact that Fonseka’s in whilst Mervyn is at large otherwise?

lefroy published a post with photo ( of un unknown naked male ) entitled A “Naked Photograph of Sittingnut a.k.a The Excreting Nut ” on febraury 01, 2010 2.28pm it was available till about 5.00pm
after publishing and getting it admitted to kottu it he deleted it
-
once again it is clear that indi.padashow ( son of a corrupt political appointee ) who promoted this blog is applying a different standard to this blog than to one he banned like tamilnet(dot)tv even though they did the same things ( for a worthier cause ) this blog does as i have pointed out from the beginning of these attacks.
indi continued use posts from here in his leader kottu print version long after attacks started .
if indi.padshow had any principles he should unban those blogs from kottu.

however much truth hurts lefroy, and whatever he calls it in his hate , i will tell the truth, the complete truth.
lefroy is angry at me for exposing indi.padashow , his hypocrisy and political connections and feels a passionate need for attacking me as a result . so he attck me in post after post
his various and ever changing explanations for attack after attack post against me ( and onl;y me ) here using abuse of the worst kind, does not wash
i will continue to post protest comments in all his threads as long as he censors my comments in his attack threads (for ex in his post “sittingnut is not libertarian” on january 30, 2010 he censored my original comments there i had to repost them and post protest comments in other threads)
i will continue to ask, why does he attack me( and only me ) in this fashion.
i will continue to ask why does indi .padashow apply a double standard to him
i will also continue to ask him to come out of the closet about his true relationship to indi padashow
