Whitehall 'whitewashes' LTTE terrorists again
By : Nimal LIYANAGE
The Queensland doctor Whitehall has once again used a
professional medical journal, the Medical Journal of Australia 3/17
December to whitewash Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger terrorists. Dr Whitehall's
subtle propaganda message will only help terrorists to influence more
Australians to fund the carnage the Tamil Tiger terrorists have created
in Sri Lanka.
His three page 'True Story' in the MJA, of the
seemingly innocent & highly humanitarian medical adventure in the north
of Sri Lanka, is generously interspersed with the Tamil Tiger terrorist
messages. Dr Whitehall had initially intended to return to Sri Lanka and
work in the east coast of Sri Lanka controlled by the LTTE renegade
Karuna, but had been later diverted to Kilinochchi by the 'hosting
organisation' (another term for a Tamil Tiger terrorist front, in this
instance).
The reason for the diversion is not clear, but could
be deduced that the Tamil Tiger terrorists planned and hijacked the good
doctor's services not to care for tsunami victims in the ease coast
anymore, but to train the more deadly terrorists to continue their
carnage. The humanitarian crisis in the east where the tsunami really
struck with untold devastation remains to the same extent. However,
politically and geographically, it is no more the 'humanitarian' concern
of the LTTE terrorists of north Kilinochchi, but more the baby of the
LTTE rebel Karuna and the isolated tsunami affected Muslim and Sinhala
communities.
Along with many overseas doctors and medical personnel
who volunteered to work in Sri Lanka in the post tsunami period, the
humanitarian work and dedication of Dr Whitehall is deeply appreciated
by Sri Lankans. However, his article shows that a clear line has to be
drawn to discourage foreigners, who have not done the depth of research,
and therefore, has little knowledge of the background, becoming
mouthpieces for Tamil Tiger terrorists. Every foreigner who comes into
contact with LTTE sympathisers, whether in Sri Lanka or overseas, is a
potential recruit to the subtle propaganda of the Tamil Tiger
terrorists.
Sri Lanka at the present time has bent backwards, to
bring this tragic warring era to an end by entering a Norwegian
sponsored peace process with the terrorists in 2002. Sri Lanka's
sovereignty, the safety and welfare of its people had been at stake for
the past 30 years due to the unending series of bloody atrocities
committed by the Tamil Tiger terrorists. However, when it comes to the
opportunity of the peace process, the only solution being placed
endlessly by the Tamil Tigers on the peace table is the abdication of
sovereignty by the Sri Lankan state, knowing well, such claims and
intransigence will only end in furthering carnage the good doctor has
seen for himself.
The LTTE aka the Tamil Tigers are a proscribed
terrorist organisation in 32 countries. It is also classified by 100s
more countries of the world as a terrorist organisation under their
obligations to the UN Charter on Terrorism of 2000. The reason for this
is no nation state of the world recognises the spurious claims of the
Tamil Tigers and that they seek civilian bloodshed as means to their
end.
In two of the photographs published in the AMJ two
terrorists in camouflage fatigues, identified as 'medical students', are
seen to provide medical assistance to 'civilians'. These are not mere
medical students, but terrorists on the ready for battle to create
mayhem and carnage in Sri Lanka. Further, Dr Whitehall would need to
correctly caption the 'civilian wounded by artillery fire', as a
'terrorist combatant wearing a suicide capsule of cyanide around the
neck'.
Dr Whitehall, please do continue your humanitarian
work - that is most commendable, but kindly keep away from the
propaganda aspect of terrorism. You will only help indoctrinate and
create more misery, and trauma by encouraging suicide cadres, child
soldiers, and fund raising for Tamil Tiger terrorism in Australia.
Any injured human being or animal needs our care and
attention; and to that extent all Sri Lankans and the government have no
qualms. Facilities to injured personnel are provided medical attention
at its own expense at government public hospitals to all citizens free
of charges.
Dr Whitehall wants to paint a very poor picture of the
Sri Lanka government due alleged discrimination in medical assistance
towards the terrorist held areas, but failed to state that it is the
government of Sri Lanka that pays all the medical staffing, mostly
manned by the kith and kin of dead terrorists, and maintains the
facilities in whatever dilapidated condition 'the terrorists prefer to
keep them'. They are the same facilities to which terrorists wounded in
battle are taken for treatment.
Dr Whitehall has completed two stints in Sri Lanka and
on his second visit taken care to avoid the tsunami humanitarian crisis
in the eastern Sri Lanka. There could be reasons for moving to
Kilinochchi for a higher call, such the east being the Tamil Tiger
renegade Karuna territory, and also is better looked after now by the so
despised Sri Lankan government facilities.
Dr Whitehall has now trained and educated himself of
the special humanitarian concerns of terrorists. The tsunami needs have
now gone out of the window. It will be wiser for Dr Whitehall now to
offer his special training and experiences to the Al Q'aeda in
Afghanistan or the Taliban, behind their lines. After all, it is they
who know to blow up so that the bloodshed remains on the other side of
the battlelines.
On arrival at these terrorist humanitarian centres of
Al Q'aeda and the Taliban, Dr Whitehall would also find a glowing
referral letter from the Tamil Tigers on the special terrorist medical
training the Dr Whitehall had with Tamil Tigers, including the highly
innovative blood extraction transfusions from 600 surrendered Sri Lankan
Policeman prior to their mass shooting. |
