We are their engineers. But Congress tells us how to build," he says, refusing to address criticisms that the Corps should be more proactive. People in New Orleans "should know...

Jehan Perera, director of the National Peace Council, an independent Colombo think tank, reckons that, in Sri Lankan terms, both sides are showing restraint-neither has launched all-out assaults. "The government knows the only way to stop the L.T.T.E. from killing more soldiers is to meet them at the negotiating table," says Perera.
