In total the Belfast Project included interviews with around 50 republican and loyalist paramilitaries gathered between 2001 and 2006, under the condition that they would not be released until the interviewees had passed away.

The big question is just how dirty is the past. Should the truth not be persued in order to ensure the same mistakes will not be repeated. We also owe it to the history books.

i assume that everybody on this board will agree to no more collusion enquiries on either side in the Troubles as you accept the past as past.

merefalow. With respect who would start off the trouble ? the ordinary Nationalist would hardly walk down the street in defence of Adams who after all has done nothing for Republicans still incarcerated. The whole subject should be faced head on from a journalistic approach ( freedom of the press and the protection of their source).

this whole project is subversive,divisive and totally undermines the whole concept of the accord.in the name of peace a lot of skeletons on both sides need to remain buried or is their a hidden agenda to kick of trouble again?

The Boston College IRA tapes should be kept in the U.S. and the Brits can keep pedophile Shawn Sullivan!

Kerry's previous actions do not look good on the tape issue. Hypocrisy by th Brits is in view here. All the issues in Ireland that the Brits have covered up ! How about Bloody Sunday were all the weapons have been destroyed, etc. There is a list.
