The predictable guilty verdict against Gen. Sarath Fonseka by the second military tribunal and the overtly partisan manner in which the tribunal conducted itself indicate that the regime is no longer interested even in maintaining appearances.
It wants to punish Gen. Fonseka to the maximum and there can be little doubt that he will be found guilty by other tribunals and other courts, of any crime the Rajapakses see fit to accuse him of. And his fate would be a living lesson to any who think of seriously challenging Rajapakse power, especially from within the SLFP or the government.
