New fears about Boston College and confidential documents they hold

bogsidebunny! Are you sure your not watersidehare? The British government kept their papers on the 1916 Rising underwraps for ninety years, such was the controversality of their hamfisted military's unthinking reaction to it under DORA, just like Bloody Sunday in Derry in 1972. Pittsburghkid, "blowing up things ..." is called urban guerilla warfare against occupation forces, pioneered by Michael Collins. Loss of life is regrettable. but violence is the language of the unheard. Injustice spawns reactionary political violence.

Documents and secret papers have no part in the IRA. They deserve to be put in jail for stupidity. This blowing up things is stupid. Northern Irish Catholics are going to get their rights, because they have more children then the Protestants. Abortion will kill the Protestant Northern Irish Culture, like it is killing the American Culture.

I'll tell you, if that was me, there would be a lightning strike and everything would get burned up.

Before Boston College gives up anything to the British, they should receive a sincere apology from the royal family and Parliament as to how poorly they treated the Irish in Ireland over the centuries. Plus, it continued in Boston as the WASP did all they could to hold back the growing Irish immigrant population, which then resulted in the establishment of Boston College in 1863 to provide education for these oppressed Irish families.

It reminds me of the Treaty Stone of Limerick, only that treaty was broken the following day. Will the British never learn?

The point Johnnyb is that they were promised confidentially and now that's gone.

Sure they're all innocent, at worse misguided. So what could these papers possibly reveal?

WOW go figure this coulda happened!

I'm still at a loss as to why any Republican or Loyalist would volunteer for this "project"? Did they really think this wasn't going to happen? Scratching my head.
