True he commanded the army and did a great service to win the war but what most people forget or trying to hide is that it is the President who took the initiative and stood firm and gave the leadership to the war. And also some people are trying to hide that field commanders who were in the forefront of the battlefield with their brave soldiers more heroic than bosses who went through maps being at their offices or at their homes. Further, what about our great Navy and Air force without whose untiring and crucial and dedicated service finishing the war wouldn't have been seen so early.

Well said Christine......Hope sanity prevails for the good of all Sri Lanka. I am sure the President who is a kind hearted person will see the futility of this exercise and find a way to end it all......

People have spoken at the last two elections. The good General dug a big hole for himself. He is his own enemy. We remember what he said and what he did not say. Everything is in record.

Does anyone who make comments here know what the true story of general's imprisonment/detention? or just reacting to what everybody else is saying and doing? Nature takes its own way to resolve matters. In time we will all see what the truth is. God help Sri lanka n Our innocent people

Well said Christine, the man who risked his life and fought the war is inside, whereas the people who were inside the A/c room are celebrating.

Dear Pushpa,
We still treat him as a hero ! Its not the "people" who wants him behind bars. If general wanted more, why not ? Does it say anywhere only "some" people can have "more" ?

I hope all SF loyalists will have no option than to grudgingly accept that democracy of the courts system really works under this Govt. Unlike during the times of JRJ the master fox of UNP, between 77 - 94.

Ya, Ya, Ya ....
He could have joined ruling party instead.
If so, where he would be now is any body's guess.

This is the fate of this country, we have to accept and live !

This is just breathing space. Ex General will still have to prove his innocence, which is not going to be like riding the shotgun.

At least now I hope the good General will wake up for himself.
He could have easily retired like a gentleman and put his feet up and enjoyed life happily ever after. But no, he wanted more. People would have garlanded him with flowers and treated him as a hero wherever he went in this beautiful island. But now, if he goes out anywhere, what people are going to throw at him is anybody's guess.

The learned Judges of the Appeals Court should order the disbanding of the Court Martial and release Gen. S.F. as a Hero who has been detained unlawfully.
