		<description><![CDATA[As anyone who&#8217;s ever done research on totalitarian regimes will tell you, banning media is a sure sign of wrong-doing by the ones doing the banning (Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union leap to mind). For that reason, Sri Lanka&#8217;s government hasn&#8217;t done itself any favors by banning yet another website, LankaNewsWeb. The website is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=savingsrilanka.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6935631&amp;post=178&amp;subd=savingsrilanka&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The Tigers, they said, had demanded that they inflate the numbers. This is conceivable. What is a little harder to believe are the government reports that not a single civilian was killed by government weapons. Not even [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=savingsrilanka.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6935631&amp;post=163&amp;subd=savingsrilanka&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After six months or more of complete silence on the Sri Lankan situation, Newsweek published a tiny article on Sri Lanka in their International roundup section after the Tiger&#8217;s defeat.
