If this is supposed to be a constructive debate people must be allowed to finish asking their questions instead of being disturbed every few seconds.
This was a farce.

It is absurd to cliam that the frontline club received death threats or they had been initimidated. While it is true was that they received angry reaction for changing the panel. The rest is exaageration.

Prajeev Just to let you know about the club's thinking behind the panel, can you please take a look at this post http://www.beta.frontlineclub.com/blogs/frontline/2009/02/frontline-under-fire.html We're a journalist's club and we generally focus on issues that impact journalism.

Should be very interesting debate to watch.
First of all let me accept that fact Tigur’s have used heavy handed tactics with number Tamils people not cooperating with them.
But my worry is many people are overlooking much worse things being done by the government. Government it self using all sort
of propaganda to hide the genocide its being commit since 80’s. If only a BBC or CNN can give 1 hour to present the truth of the Tamil people struggle for freedom and the
government atrocities committed against innocent Tamils. The world opinion can be changed and tamils can be saved.
Only when independent monitors are allowed in to North – East, the truth can be uncovered. Government want allow that. Because they have lot to hide.
See here for more details.
Indictment against sri lanka
GenocideVideo’s
Final note, no the war will not end now, tamils want give up their fight for the rights.

If you want to debate about the current issues,where is the rep from TNA or Srilankan Govt?you have to involve these parties to find out about the situation.please take the ground situation first.The debators are not living in srilanka,they don’t know any thing about the suffering of Tamils in Vannei.

Sri Lanka plays a game “divide and conquer” with the west. Is it war on terror as it says or is it Genocide of Tamils? Why cannot we force a decent debate to force parties for a federal political solution, Sri Lanka Diaspora, both Sinhalese and Tamils will support!
