Comments on: Anita Pratap’s Rant http://electra.blogsome.com/2009/04/30/anita-prataps-rant/ i am a mess in my open-eyed youth. Sat, 05 Dec 2009 10:39:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: David Blacker http://electra.blogsome.com/2009/04/30/anita-prataps-rant/#comment-4794 Sat, 02 May 2009 08:55:37 +0100 http://electra.blogsome.com/2009/04/30/anita-prataps-rant/#comment-4794 Well I don't think that blog is out to make any bucks, but it's quite flexible with the truth and usually won't run comments that give a credible counterpoint to the posts. For example, last year ther was a counter-accusation by the LTTE that the SL Army was also using child soldiers, and Tamilnet ran a bunch of pictures of Army dead, including a close-up (head & shoulders) pic of what looked like a child in Army uniform. Chitrangani ran the same story, and that single pic. Another blog ran the entire pic collection (including the pix on Tamilnet and Chitrangani, but also a few more of the same soldier). In these one could see that the supposed child soldier was in fact an adult (he was babyfaced, but in the other pix one could see that his body was at least as tall as the adult soldiers lying alongside him). I posted the linked to the latter pix on a comment on Chitrangani, and pointed out she was wrong. She didn't run the comment, so I asked her if she didn't want the truth coming out. She didn't run that either.

they judge, but then stop.
that is not honest .

it is as if a judge at court who pronounced a guilty sentence on a capital punishment case ( according to evidence and after correctly dismissing the absurd arguments of the propagandist defense of anita pratap and ilk ) then choose to judge the gov executioner who carried out the sentence, putting responsibility on executioner .

imo that sort of cowardly running from reality and responsibility is as bad as what anita pratap and ilk does, and is at least worthy of a comment rant on my part, even if the boring rant pisses the judge/blog owner off .

That's the sad truth of the matter when it comes to the 'sole voice' of the Tamil people.
