Lasantha wasn’t a saint, or the best of journalists. But he wasn’t the worst, either. He was a brave man. His brand of journalism was perhaps necessary within the current political culture which is soaked in corruption. His killing is an outlandish attack on the media. The question is, who did it? Broadly, fingers are pointed at:(1) the Government and (2) any group that is not. I reject (1). The Govt. can’t be that stupid. I believe it’s (2). But, sadly, there could be 'enemies within', unknown to the President. If so, I am saddened to see President Rajapaksa being stifled by this ‘enemy within’ who could tarnish his image and that of his Govt. more than anyone else could.
