"They have the best terrorist shipping network in the world," says Gunaratna. But while the U.S. is trying to portray itself as "bad cop" and "a menacing hard-ass," according to one Western diplomat in Colombo, Prabhakaran last week publicly called their bluff. "We do not think America would intervene," he said dismissively. "We are not Muslims...
