BBC: Sri Lanka extends emergency laws. ⇒

   18 August 2005, lunch time

Under a state of emergency, the government has powers similar to those granted by the War Measures Act here in Canada. (In fact, I think the powers given to the Sri Lankan government might be even more sweeping.)

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
