A disturbing and growing McCarthyism in Sri Lanka?

So while the government maybe winning the war against the LTTE, its “api wenuwen api” slogan which was started to win support for the military is now being used as a witch hunt to stifle all voices of dissent. It has now become a “either you are with us or you are against us” attitude. This McCarthyism like approach of some prominent voices in the Rajapakse regime is leaving no room for middle ground where people can both be supportive of the military efforts against the LTTE while on the same hand be critical of the government’s failure, for example, to stop waste and corruption or address human rights violations.
