    Default Tamil Tigers

    I'm kicking around putting in for a Fulbright to study Tamil Tiger aka LTTE propaganda...anybody have any knowledge they could pass on or know of anyone who might?

    There's some stuff out there, but not a lot...

    Thanks in advance!

    Knowledge of the TTs or Propaganda? Anyway, I have a friend/colleague who does fieldwork in Sri Lanka studying the effects of war on children. She might be able to help.

    The Terrorism Research Center probably has a lot of what you are looking for. They are ran more like a buisiness though so good luck trying to get what they have for free. Walter Purdy would be a good person to talk to there.

    I have REAMS of actual TT and SL Gov propaganda documents as one of my staffers was the former SL Embassy information officer in Washington, but its all in storage until I return CONUS this fall. Its raw data and the TTs have GREAT propaganda.

    I recommend going straight to the local SL think tank the Laksman Kadirgamar Institute in Colombo. You can get copies of their reports and analysis and probably discuss what you need by contacting them dirctly. They had a counterterrorism conference last fall that was pretty good for making SL contacts and may have another this year.

    Just as a note, they also have many of the texts available in pdf from the 2007 conference. Also, the site does not work well with FireFox (I suspect it was optimized for IE ).
