The impromptu farewell ceremony for him was so hastily arranged, apparently, that the commanders of the army, navy and air force could not attend. <p>His retirement, more than a month before the end of his term, fuelled rampant speculation that General Fonseka would stand against Mr Rajapaksa at the presidential election he wants to call next year, nearly two years early, to capitalise on the government’s defeat of the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in May. ... </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://economist.com" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">economist.com</a> - 2009-11-19 17:46:20 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;list-style : none;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2010307238_apuspiracyreunion.html?syndication=rss" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >Captain, Navy crew in piracy rescue to reunite</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> A guided-missile destroyer has arrived in Norfolk for a reunion with the American merchant captain the crew helped rescue from pirates off the coast of Africa. </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://seattletimes.com" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">seattletimes.com</a> - 2009-11-19 16:33:52 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;list-style : none;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2010298575_apusmarinesiraqshooting.html?syndication=rss" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >Marines, corpsman to be removed in Iraqi death</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> Three Camp Pendleton Marines and a Navy corpsman convicted of aiding the kidnapping and killing of an Iraqi man in 2006 have been ordered removed from the military. </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://seattletimes.com" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">seattletimes.com</a> - 2009-11-18 20:42:47 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;list-style : none;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://www.journal-news.com/news/content/shared-gen/ap/National/US_Navy_Ships_Collide.html?cxtype=rss&amp;cxsvc=1&amp;cxcat=0" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >Navy finds lax behavior aboard sub in collision</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> GROTON, Conn. - The crew aboard a U.S. submarine made dozens of errors before the vessel collided with an American warship in the Persian Gulf, an accident that exposed lax leaders who tolerated sleeping, slouching and a radio room rigged with music speakers, a Navy review found. </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://journal-news.com" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">journal-news.com</a> - 2009-11-18 18:51:35 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;list-style : none;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://www.journal-news.com/news/content/shared-gen/ap/National/US_Navy_Ships_Collide.html?cxtype=rss&amp;cxsvc=1&amp;cxcat=0" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >Navy report: Lax behavior contributed to collision</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> GROTON, Conn. - U.S. military investigators who examined a collision earlier this year between two Navy vessels in the Persian Gulf say the accident was preventable and that some submarine crew members habitually fell asleep and spent too much time away from their stations. </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://journal-news.com" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">journal-news.com</a> - 2009-11-18 14:47:43 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;list-style : none;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120529341&amp;ft=1&amp;f=1001" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >Guards Repel Pirate Attack On Maersk Alabama</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> The attempt marked the second time in seven months that Somali pirates have targeted the U.S.-flagged cargo ship.
