The British Government at the time took no action at all on this issue instead choosing to reward those from the British Government who had taken part.

The Sri Lankan's had been at war with the Tamil Tiger separatist's for decades and were unable to make any headway toward a peaceful solution. On September 11th 2001 as a result of the attacks on America, the Sri lankan Government realised that the world was changing and that, with the right approach, and the right people in place, it might be able to bring a 'permanent solution' to the problem. That person arrived in 2005 in the form of Mahinda Rajapaksa, the leader of the military dictatorship of Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lankan Government had previously looked at what the British and American's were doing under the guise of the "War on Terror" and decided to use the same ideology to eradicate its domestic enemies at home namely the Tamil Tigers. They went before the UN and launched a major diplomatic offensive to encourage the UN permanent members to adopt support for the Sri Lankans which they could use to eradicate the Tamil Tigers.

They used China and Iran to put pressure on the British to 'assist' the Sri Lankan Government to fight its own 'War on Terror' at home using the very same ideology the American and British Labour Government were using in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Sri Lankan's had already begun the process of militarisation of its economy in order to increase the size of its military under the governance of Mahinda Rajapaksa ensuring it had funding for this from the IMF in the form of loans and backhanders. In early 2009 they had the military forces in place along with the promise of funding from the IMF and just needed a vote at the UN in order to go ahead. They went before the UN correctly strategising that the British would not be able to oppose the vote because they were waging their own 'War on terror' in Afghanistan. The Sri Lankans won the vote and the British and American's were left holding each others penises in public.

The Sri Lankans then waged a war in which over 30,000 people were killed and major and serious war crimes were committed. The War on Terror collapsed and the US and British were left paralysed on the international stage.

The 'final solution' that the Sri Lankan Government came up was done with the full backing of the British Government and the British Government at the time (New Labour) were fully complicit and remain so to this day.

The end result, Labour promoted Sir John Sawyers to the head of MI6, a position he still holds. When the British Government fucks up...it promotes everybody involved to ensure their silence in the future.

Mr Miliband claims he was working hard at the time on this issue, those involved remember nothing more than Labour trying to save itself and its reputation and trying to keep the War on Terror alive.

The Sri Lankan issue represents one of the greatest foreign policy failings of recent times and Mr Miliband is fully complicit.

At the time, the British, the American's, the UN, Iran, China, the IMF and others colluded with each other to murder over 30,000 men, women and children. Nobody is held to account, nobody standing trial for their crimes, everybody doing very well and making lots of money.

If this were 1945, Hitler would be free as a bird and living in a mansion and Mengele would be writing his memoirs with a nice glass of port by his side!

"The remaining 3324 cables from Colombo are likely to contain information of interest to Tamils on the evolution of US policy towards Sri Lanka conflict.


Julian Assange, Founder WikiLeaks
Particularly important will be cables attributed to former U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka and Maldives, Robert O'Blake. Blake whose tenure lasted from September 2006 to June 2009, was the closest U.S. observer of the unfolding war in Mullaiththeevu where an estimated 40,000 Tamil civilians were killed.

Blake is the current Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs. He has been known to have advocated reducing the rhetoric on "genocide" and for Tamils to find a way to work with the Rajapakse regime.

Legal survival of WikiLeaks, and its charismatic founder Assange are, therefore, critical to Tamils."
