Talk:Vaharai bombing

message: I have added new information from Reuters which says survivors confirm the fact that the LTTE fired from near the camp first.[] Considering what has been going on on WP over Sri Lanka related articles, I will just like to remind everyone that removing any of it will be regarded as vandalism. Please do not make POV edits to this artlce. --snowolfD4(  talk /  @ ) 05:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is only one supposed eyewitness source by anonymous person talking to Reuters and has to be stated so.    All other credible independent sources say something else. Hence without confirmation from other credible sources, this is a minority opinion. Elalan 13:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

text: You have selectively chosen one source that fits your POV and ran with it.  I am not so sure what there to hide ?  The majority of the credible sources don't match with the Reuters report.  It has to be mentioned these survivors were in government territory when they spoke to Reuters.  Elalan 13:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The fact is that it is anonymous 27 year old Tamil woman.  Elalan 13:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: There is room for both views but at the end reuters justlike Tamilnet is a news reporting agency and have known to make mistakes and reflect the biases of local contributers. We can prolong the pain in this article or gon on to other creative articles. But at the end this article should reflect both the point of view as well as the missing warning from the US to SL that said even if it were a human sheild the SLArmy should not make this mistake in the future.RaveenS 02:12, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

text: There is a logical fallacy with the reuters and government report.  If the refugees were held as human shields then the LTTE prevented them from leaving their territory.  But according to the Reuters report, the survivors came into government territory, so then the LTTE didn't prevent them from leaving.  Hence there is a logical problem with the "human shield" claim by the govt.  Clearly the govt version of events conflicts with the Reuters report.  Elalan 04:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Unconfirmed has to stay, since this conflicts with the SLMM statement and with govt version of events, where the refugees were held as "human shields" by the LTTE.  Elalan 04:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
