good move.
time for LTTE to laydown their arms and join the political process.
as if someone like Karuna can do this, why can't anyone else be accepted.
Karuna ta giya kala bang...
Good move by Mahinda. As appaling as it may be the things Karuna has done in the past, only reconciliation helps ethnic conflicts. Revenge never does.
