Wikileaks Coming Colombo’s Way

By Faraz Shauketaly

It pours they say, when it rains. Well it certainly looks that way with the latest set of leaked documents coming from the bane of the American government, Wikileaks. Over 257,000 ‘cables’ have been released – well leaked – and amongst them are 3,325 cables from the US Embassy Colombo, well, about Sri Lanka of course.

The “cables” are communications between the State Department – the American Foreign Ministry – and their Embassy in Colombo and vice versa. Of the 3,325 cables from the Colombo mission, 1,533 are unclassified, 1,680 confidential and 112 marked Secret.

A former diplomat said that the Sri Lankan government must be waiting to see exactly what has been leaked. With the Wikileaks website overloaded, the documentation on Sri Lanka was not fully available. It was due any moment was how sources in London put it.

      Many higher levels investigating it but the problem is witnesses are from people who never visited Sri Lanka.Thanks for wiki leaks the true face of that higher levels are revealed.There aren’t any true source that against Sri Lankan army but Thousand of evidence against people who trying to investigate about Sri Lanka.

    it is like a real transparency. we need same transparency on Sri Lanka and the presidents of Sri Lanka how they instructed their forces and commissions and to their ministers and mpas, and to the conversations between india and Sri Lanka and between China and Sri lanka. if that happen, we can expect many truths.

    What a bunch of cry-babies! What are you door-knobs talking about? Sri Lankans never ever had the freedom of the press! That’s not going to be there in the future either. What’s forgotton very easily is the fact that Sri Lanka DOES NOT have to deal with Prbha anymore. As far as I’m concerned, just get on with life. The Politicians will be corrupt from top to bottom; that will not improve.

    cut off America embacy from our Great Mother Land-SRI LANKA.

    Leaking out files relating to internal security and sovereignity of a country can be dangerous, but leaking out information on conspiracies to topple governments or war crimes in foreign soil is healthy to the poolitical environment. The US government is hunting for the wikileaks boss. Don’t be surprised if you hear that he has met with an accident and died by the side of the road in a remote English village.
    Conspiracy theories and spy stories are not fiction….they are the living truth.
