		An LTTE member from Sri Lanka says that Mahathya has been so badly tortured that he has become a nadaipinam (walking dead) and is no longer in a position to challenge Pirabhakaran.
		One of the wisecracks used to ridicule Pirabhakaran, repeated ad-nauseam in the partisan press in Sri Lanka, is that he is a ‘semi-literate’; thus, incapable of leadership.
		The dimwits holding the reins of power in Sri Lanka should have known that race isn’t an important criterion in an army professional; ability and attitude are.
