Hillary Clinton Newly-Released Emails Have 28 On Sri Lanka, IMF Intrigue & Rajapaksa Call, PR & Real Estate

By Matthew Russell Lee

UNITED NATIONS, June 30 -- Among the Hillary Clinton emails released by the US State Department on June 30 are 28 that mention Sri Lanka, where over 40,000 civilians were killed in 2009.  The emails start on May 4 of that year, and mostly finish on May 21, when Hillary Clinton was to speak with then-President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Finally in October 2009 there is talk about media and a letter to Sri Lanka's Permanent Representative to the UN,Palitha Kohona (who rented Manhattan real estate from head UN Correspondent, as exposed by Inner City Press and now the Free UN Coalition for Access).

  Some are entirely redacted, like on May 16, 2009 from Gautam Rana. But there is this, on May 4, 2009, link here:

Subject: Some intel for you...

This is about Sri Lankan Govt and the Tigers...
I have a good source.
This was shared to me at my and Karen's Derby Party yesterday (can you believe the 50 to 1 odds winner?).

There was a meeting held with Geitner asked for and led by IMF... They told him you were intruding into his domain by ordering/telling IMF to suspend funding to Sri Lakan Govt.

My take is that the people on the ground both with World Bank and IMF believe the Tigers need to be completely defeated and any collateral damage inflicted on private people by SL govt in process is ok... They also believe Tigers are better at propaganda than SL govt...

I have no idea what reality is... I know all about the conflict because there's been so much written over time but no idea of reality on ground.

My point is that IMF/World Bank is hoping to get Geitner to intervene and they recently played to his sense of who is US point person on IMF... So, that's what I know. I'll keep my ears open.
