We pay him for saying things like this?

That Kadirgamar's assassination was a "premeditated act of violence"? News flash for the PM: a) If somebody kills another person by shooting him, nobody would confuse it for a non-violent act b) unless the assassin was having a friendly conversation with Kadirgamar, and whipped out a gun and shot him over some sudden disagreement, it was definitely premeditated.
