That Guardian link was non-trivially disturbing, but this seems a little more heartening. I'm not entirely sure what to make of India's role in all this. I'm glad the country is voicing its concerns over civilians, but I am also wary of Delhi's meddling ways, which can have unproductive consequences. Politicians in Tamil Nadu said some remarkable things during the election campaign.

I ate dinner at a Sri Lankan restaurant today. I almost wonder why people who make such good food have to go out and fight when they could have the world at their feet with their cooking?

The government says it needs to hold the civilians until it can establish whether or not they are Tamil Tigers

Yes, because keeping people in detention is so good for fostering feelings of gratitude towards those in power.
