Matters Arising

Teaching Tamil Tigers

Martin B Van Der Weyden
MJA 2008; 188 (9): 545

Comment: The article by Whitehall1 provoked a barrage of 15 emails to the Medical Journal of Australia that either criticised the Journal for publishing such an article or questioned Whitehall’s agenda and some details of the article. In short, it was suggested that the article was nothing but a propaganda tool for Tamil terrorists or a blatant attempt to romanticise “the terrorists”. Others were perturbed that the MJA saw fit to publish such a confronting article. However, these criticisms were balanced by another 40 emails congratulating the Journal for having the courage to expose what is occurring in Sri Lanka.
