Army Commander Lt. Gen. Shavendra Silva and his family have been banned from entering the USA due to alleged crimes committed within the war against the LTTE based on unverified reports. This action is followed by a statement released last year on August 19th about deep concerns about the appointment of Lt. Gen. Shavendra Silva as the army commander citing allegations made by "UN bodies". The question at hand is whether the US is retaliating for the failure to get its way on the MCC.

Former Foreign Secretary Dr. Palitha Kohona joins this week's discussion to give a better understanding of the diplomatic instruments in play between the US and Sri Lanka.
