After I finished a few tasks, I decided to take a break by reading BBC news online. One of the lead stories was about the assassination of Lasantha Wickramatunga, editor of the Sri Lankan Sunday Leader.
That is the bad news. For the great writing, see his posthumously published prediction of his murder, "And then they came for me"
At least there is hope for Sri Lanka in that I can still read his editorial two days after it was published.
