Dear Sir,

Channel4NewsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  -ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ LTTE propaganda on Channel 4ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ref: http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/world/asia_pacific/is+this+evidence+of+sri+lankan+aposwaƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  r+crimesapos/3321087ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

With reference to the video broadcast by you on the 25^th of August 2009, related to Sri Lanka , any one could have dressed upƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  as aƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Sri Lankan soldierƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and acted as in the video clip. The back ground ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Sinala voices do not appear to convey any meaning.

Although violence against fellow humans is common in the Western culture, such as My lai massacre, Abu Gharaib, Genocide of native American Indians, Nuclear Bombing of Japan, Fire bombing of DresdenƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and so on, Sri Lankan soldiers kill only in self defence. It is highly unlikely for a Sri Lankan soldier to behave in the manner shown in the video clip

What is most likely is that this video clip is a fake LTTE propaganda video clip.

It is a shame that you tie up with LTTE , for cheap publicity and sensationalism

It is disgraceful that you are carrying out propaganda for what was known as the deadliest terror organisations in the world, without verifying the authenticity of the broadcast material.

It looks like LTTEƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  have taken a considerable amount of time to produce this fake video clip.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Silva.
