Hey, thanks for reading. That was a pretty tough one to get my head around, even more so because the best editorials regarding Sri Lanka's current bloodshed have been coming straight from the Sunday Leader. I got turned onto their english language stuff through reading the Economist, and while I'm certainly not going to say something cocky like "oh you could see this coming", it's just awful that Lasantha did see it coming. While I'm obviously only getting one side of the story--his--it's pretty difficult not to view this as just a horrible, horrible tragedy both for his family and for those in Sri Lanka who care about the safety of their journalism.
Thanks
