Nash said the police inquiry should go to wherever the evidence took them, even if it meant McGuinness being questioned as well.

either truth and justice is sought for all the victims or a line should be drawn under the past - currently seems to be a mish mash of both with a heirachy of victims. sinn fein have struggled so much in order to have terrorists who have blown up shops and civilians and been blown up themselves whilst planting the bombs to be classified as victims that they have had to say that the notorious loyalist shankill butchers, who kidnapped random catholics and skinned them before killing them, are also victims

I'm not disputing the events of Bloody Sunday...merely pointing out the difference in your attitude depending on whose on trial...not to mention any defendants rights before and during a trial...NB that's a trial as opposed to the summary 'justice' favoured by your mates....

Given that the Northern Ireland Assembly adjourned for their summer recess, can't help wondering if the 6 county neo-provincial administration aren't doing what their 26 county proto-republic comparators have been doing for some time. That is, firing a few salvos across the bows of their respective oppositions in the game of parliamentatry democracy to keep the media fed, so as to tide them over the holiday period.

It is strange that the statement by Cardinal Daly, that he witnessed the actual shooting of a young man and that on going to his assistance, with others, had to tell a person with a handgun close by to 'stop shooting. your drawing fire down on us' or words to that effect. This was screened on local television during a debate on the Bloody Sunday shootings in the 1970's. I saw no reference to this incident in the recent £192 million lawyer fest. I wonder why?

Well said lecorri, obviously the massive report of Justice Saville and his international associates means nothing to some of those in Stormont and reading IC.
Jacersagain - free speech! I was responding to another comment I disagreed with! I will not be dictated to by you if people make a comment I disagree with I will comment!
Again we are talking about murders on the streets of derry where british military acted! the circumstances are to be investigated! Pretty sure it will go the same way as stalker! But the issue is not Martin - it is the PARAS!

You have trouble reading Dano, as usual you go off half cocked and fail to understand what I have said, typical I suppose.

seano can't wait for any trial I see...he's set himself up as judge and jury...how different from his 'wait for the verdict' stance when his chums are on trial?

Well hell, if young Peter wants this investigation, surely he will be just fine with adding an investigation of Paisley, no?

jacersagain. I have stated my opinion on republican millitary action many times. That carries no where near the same protection for me as those who share my opinion and tow the party line. Gerry Mc Geough is against violence, look where he is. Instead of questioning my perspective, should you and others not be questioning the party leadership on the issues mentioned in my last post.
Its some indictment for any so called republicans to be administering oppressive and undemocratic actions against any one, in view of what started the troubles in the first place. You are facillitating the myth that is allowed to accompany the process, the myth that nothing is as important as the peace itself. Peace is great, but we had that along with gerrymandering etc etc in 1968. Now its only differant suits administering it for the same brit regime.
