Boston College now to fight court order on releasing IRA interviews to British police

seanomelb: Lol. Here's he truth my friend...on 30th January 2012 @ 10:47 you have made a clear and damning statement about Mrs McConville. You have been asked to sustantiate this statement with evidence or proof. You have failed to provide any evidence or proof. Now, what part of that do you not understand?

I do not accept what you perceive to be truth realist.I have stated my position over and over,if you fail to accept it so be it who cares. I am done wasting my time here with narrow minded west brits.

seanomelb: I take it you will refrain from printing unsubstantiated statements about Mrs McConville in the future?

BTW falls in a Feb poll your hated Sinn Fein now enjoys 25% support in Ireland(Fine Gael 32% Labour10%)and that does not include the Sinn Fein support in the north.The Sinn Fein support in all Ireland may very well be about 30%,do not mean to ruin your day.

I have given him alternate points of view made by other people and I have no interest in going over what I have said on numerous occassions. Falls can believe what he likes as can you and I will believe what I perceive to be the truth.Time for falls to move on.BTW he does'nt need a crutch he can fight his own battles.

seanomelb: As Falls (among a few others) has already pointed out, on 30th January 2012 @ 10:47 you stated, and I quote, "One wonders if McConville had not spied for the British would she still be alive today enjoying her children and grand children. How many nationalists were killed or incarcerated(if any) by information given by Mrs McConville to her British handlers." Continue to lie or deny all you like but that is a clear statement not an "alternative point of view" my friend. Therefore, once more I will ask you the same straight question: Would you please support this statement with proof/evidence?

falls wehave been down this track before and i merely suggested an alternative point of view.Your inability to understand what I have written is frustrating. You either deliberately misread me or fail to understand.Tom Swinford in a post tried to explain what I'd said and you still do not get it.Putting our point of view and quoting our sources are always subject to argument. We take a stance one way or another. In my view I did not make "damning remarks about McConville I merely offered another explanation.

murph46 are you saying that Boston College are above the US law, I don't think so, they had no right to give their word as it wasn't correct & hasn't stood up in court, it's a bit rich for McIntyre now to hide behind BC on this as he documented the tapes to prove that Adams was in PIRA & was involved in the armed campaign. Richard O'Rawe has also stood by his comments about Adams et al & the sellout of the 1981 hunger stikers & I don't see any PIRA hit team knocking on his door. seanob - what has Mrs McConville's case got to do with the other murders, they will be investigated in their time, quite rightly so, you made some pretty damning remarks about Mrs C which you still haven't provided any proof on. So what that I was in the BA what's that got to do with it, my family were in RA from its inception until 1972 & in the IRB before that, Dolores Price is under arrest for something she said in taped interviews & previous crimes that are bring investigated by HET, she may get off after a trial just like the UVF members who have just been released, depending on the evidence.

Maire, the British apologised last year over the killing of Majella O'Hare, thereby accepting responsibility. Strange that there is no hue and cry from SF over releasing DP, the republican's republician....

not before time.

Boston College is doing the right thing. Lets hope they have learned the importance of protecting journalism and people involved in their documentary.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), i.e. the petitioner in this case, are the heirs apparent of their predecessors, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). The RUC had a justifiable reputation, (at least in the earliest days of the Orange neo-provincial six county statelet of Northrn Ireland) of being an appallingly bigoted and sectarian police force, so bad even the British Government had to disband them, as also their Royal Ulster Regiment (UDR) paramilitary equivalents in the British Army.

About time Boston College protected its researchers and subjects. Even with their undemocratic laws and juryless courts the brits could not apprehend the killers of Ms McConville, maybe it is Karma for the murders they did not investigate like little Majella O'Hare....

Destroy the dam tapes,Nixon did.

sean -can you forward story of Dolores Price to me murphmt@gmail.com
