In the final analysis, these are signs of preparation of war and the government should be aware of it.

The old story in antitrust cases is that the government wins the battle and loses the war. The question is: What do you get in relief?

The LTTE has tons of money and in the past three years they have regrouped and rearmed with latest weapons smuggled in.

If they (the rebels) believe in the cease-fire and the upcoming peace talks, there would have no need to increase the strength of their Sea Tigers cadres.

We cannot build until the government completes the excavation and the site preparation that is necessary for towers 2, 3, 4 and 5 to go forward, and it is unfair to seek to scapegoat Mr. Silverstein for those delays.

His preparation [for games] is tremendous. And you talk about someone who is on the go all the time. He just has so much energy and that shows through in the way we play. He's a good guy to work for.
