Of course, the logic of "Live by the sword" justifies any action by anyone against anyone remotely connected to the conflict...including 'most probably' some current dissidents...so no more bleating, eh!!!!

Many men on both sides "died by the sword".

SM Justifies what happened to these men based on an unproven ‘probability’…but constantly bleats about the treatment of ‘his friends’. Some consistency please!

Seamus60. 'Not a Shinner in sight...' excellent and truthful observation among others. The people you name are classed as 'Dissidents' and yet they have remained loyal to their Republician ideology. To me its Adams, McGuinness and their ilk who are the dissidents!

The british spook with a name who has gagging orders against him by his former employers. With even the journalist who first aquired information from this whistleblower becoming a victim of black ops. Like it or not he exposed Freddie Scap who until only last week was denied by the PRM as an agent of the highest authority within the Army. An agent allowed to retain position in Northern Command internal security in complete contravention of standing army orders that personell be moves at intervals. Ingram has also like it or not, filled in quite a few other pieces of the jigsaw that make good sense where other PRM pieces didn`t. And for anyone asking why we should give any credance at all to this whistle blower, Why not he hasn`t been caught out anywhere near as much as those in the leadership of the PRM, falling over their own blatant lies about issues like the Hungerstrike.

Kevin as some one doesn`t like the depth of my last post 1`ll rephrase it. Do you mean a land of equals like Marian Price and Gerry Mc Geogh but to name 2, now INTERNED for their Republican beliefs.

Well whadya know! An anonymous British security spook with manifest multiple personality disorder giving redacted evidence' at a non-criminal tribunal in the Irish capitol inspired by revisionist journalists with a conspicuous fetish for militaria? They've opted for a civil tribunal because its featherweight burden of proof counterbalances their flimsy evidence. Since when are the regretable deaths of protagonists in an undeclared war murder (sic)? It's quite clear to me as an ex-Irish Army operative that elements within the British security apparatus miss the conflict in Ulster/Northern Ireland. Perhaps they fear unemployment due to the inconvenient truth of the peace process.

Kevin if only that equality for all were true. you don`t have to look any further than ex pow`s to see the scam.
Agree with Martins new version of how to free Ireland and you`re flying, you`ll even get into the USA ffs. Even object to his new found defination of the Proclamation
( the one he and Adams said for decades was not up for interprtation) whilst opposing military action and you`re still going to find it tough at finding equality.
If you don`t believe me just go ask Gerry Mc Geogh.
We still have INTERNMENT being administered this time against Irish Republicans by no other than Martin.If you don`t believe me just ask Marian price. Sorry you can`t cause she`s Interned just like Gerry.
Attended a protest against this Internment last Sunday in Derry where Father Raymond Murray who was the chaplin of Armagh womans jail for 13 years, at the height of the troubles, said internment then was the same as it is now regardless of the reasons then or now ( which are the same)No wonder the protest was attended by human rights groups and even the SDLP ha stheir place. Funny thing was there wasn`t a shinner to be seen but I don`t think anyone was surprised.

Just read a news report on an all Ireland basis Sinn Fein may be the biggest party in the 32 counties but not big enough to form government without a coalition partner. Might not the unionists coalesce with Sinn Fein,stranger things have happened.

Well said Kevin Kehoe!! The London fear and smear haters have forgotten the GFA and fear the resurgence of Sinn Fein in Ireland. FYI petty bythebay McGuinness travels on an Irish passport so suck it.Who cares if he killed two bigoted anti Irish RUC officers in Norn Arelen.

Bythebay is just babbling. Of course Martin McGuinness has everything to do with Ireland. His all-Ireland political party Sinn Fein is rising in the polls and is now the number two party in the Republic (under the capable leadership of Gerry Adams TD).
