Civil wars are not supposed to be sweet dreams. They are ugly, .., and painful. They should be because otherwise people will love civil wars. The best way to keep your family members from being abducted is to keep them away from tigers. Innocent people never get abducted.

It's not that you are naive or wrong, it's that you are evil. Thousands of innocent people have been abducted and murdered in Lanka over the years; by justifying the practice you are putting yourself on the same level as the murderers.

All this time I was thinking civil wars were sweet dreams. Today the Lord Mr. Call called me in, and
opened my eyes.

You can be no surer of their innocence than I can be of their guilt. To make a judgment, the case has to go through the courts. To go to courts, you need witnesses and access to Vanni which suspects could possibly live. Even if the case went to courts, the prosecutor cannot make her case as the witnesses may well be under threat from suspected criminals living in these areas. No one is guilty until it’s proven. This is why it’s imperative that these areas are brought under the jurisdiction of the justice system first.

Most of the abductions are taking place in Colombo and Jaffna. There is access to the courts in both areas.

As to respect for the courts in GOSL controlled areas look at this from the Sunday Times:

Vavuniya lawless: CJ intervenes
 The administration of justice in government controlled Vavuniya has come to a standstill with hundreds of cases being put off.
Chief Justice Sarath Silva has made an urgent appeal to Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa to settle the crisis between lawyers and pro-government militant groups.

On Thursday and Friday more than 600 cases in the High Courts, District courts and Magistrate courts were postponed after the Vavuniya Bar Association charged that the Karuna faction and the EPDP were extorting money from them and threatening them with death. [...]

One of the laywers had earlier complained to a judge about a militant demanding Rs. 150,000 and in turn the judge had informed the police. However, the following day the militant had called back the lawyer to say ‘why did you complain to the judge. He cannot prevent anything, but only conduct the inquest when I kill you”.

Still Call will be happy; he will point out that all those threateneda are indeed guilty of being lawyers.

You may remember what the former FM Mangala Samaraweera said.  

He stated that a person disappers every 8 hours.

Mahinda Rajapakse got angry at that comment, and said the statement was not correct.

But, we have no medi person with a backbone to ask the Preseine a simple question, "Then, your excellency, every how many hours then a person disappears?"

Is it 12?  
Is it good enough?  
Maybe, every 24 hours?  
Is it still good enough??

new definition for innocent people:
don't work hard. if you work hard don't accept money. if you accept money don't buy any goods. if you buy any goods, don't show that to anybody. if you not follow these rules, you are not innocent and you will be punished.

don't bother about other people in your society, if you bother don't tell anybody who are the badguys in your society. even if you want to tell who are the bad guys, just tell ltte are the bad guys. then you are innocent, otherwise you are not innocnet and will be punished.

the best way to live: be selfish and do all the dirty-anti-social works. now you are an innocent and never will be punished. now you can also join my political party and i give you a ministerial post.

By the way thats the definition of an I or AH too.
