That vid is a drama-filled piece meant to confuse the facts.
Besides her outright denial of any association with or support of the LTTE, the fact that MIA uses tigers in her album art, posters and videos is negligible. Tigers represent freedom/independence and her childhood as a refugee shines through such symbolism innocently.
Additionally, her referral to her father as a "freedom fighter," doesn't link her to terrorism either. The group he belonged to, EROS (The Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students): 1. was focused on creating an independent Tamil state within Sri Lanka, 2. hasn't been active for over a decade and 3. is a completely separate group from the LTTE. Not to mention the fact that MIA's father has represented both sides (Tamil/Sinhalese) on various issues. So much for the "terrorism" link.
DeLon is guilty of using fear tactics and blatantly gruesome imagery in a shameless attempt at self-promotion. He should have known better to put MIA on full blast without hard facts. His allegations are scurrilous and petty at best.
