I’m at the Cinnamon Lakeside, having a coke by the pool. The entry is full LTTE style checks and balances, buses blocking the traffic, army checking the cars. They’re all very nice. Inside it’s a normal hotel, just a bit empty. Actually, there’s two people out here now. I drove by the Elections Commission in Rajagiriya and it’s surrounded by cops, again very nice. I don’t know. I think they’re really just trying to humiliate Fonseka.
From the BBC article…

“The opposition leader said he was willing to accept the result of the election as legitimate as they had not seen any large-scale malpractices or rigging on election day.”
Well, Fonseka does have a lot of egg on his face. CHe could have stayed renowned as a great general, but leaves scorned and rejected by the population.
What about this video ? When has it been taken ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY6foimxHs0
So did you enter without any issues ?
I think this ringing throughout Sri Lanka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxJW8hxmYjE
