And we welcome the  fact that the Sri Lankan Government has said that whatever decision is  made in the military courts will be reviewed in the civilian courts, so  that there will be greater transparency about not only the charges, but  the process that has been followed in these cases. So, again, we’ll  follow the process of these cases very carefully,” Blake said, according  to the US State Department.          The briefing by Blake came just hours after US Secretary of State  Hillary Clinton and Sri Lanka's External Affairs Minister G.L Peiris met  in Washington and later briefed the media on their talks.     dailymirror</blockquote>
