No mention of Gerry Adams and Jean McConville on Boston College IRA tapes

How could a non-member take a vow?

Gerry Adams>remember your Vow> your VOW OF SILENCE,Forver, period~! IRA men and woman took a vow of silence forver. to never say anything concerning the inner wokings of the IRA. GERRY ADAMS KEEP YOUR MOUT SHUT. B.Hughes should have. I blame Moloney for all this.

First there was papal bull Laudibiliter, 1167. Then there was the Act of Union, 1800/'01. Then there was a duly debated and passed Irish Home Rule Bill/Act, 1910. Then there was Carsons Covenant, 1912 threatening sedition against a monarch and parliament they swore allegience to? Then there was Carson and Crawford's extra constitutional Ulster Volunteer Force, 1913. The there was Mac Neill's reactionary Irish Volunteers and Connolly's Citizen Army 1913. Then there was the Abrahamic aberration of a war that was not so great, brough to you at theatre of battle near you by avaricious European imperial powers. Then there was Pearse's Proclamation of an independent Irish Republic, 1916. Then there was the Anglo-Irish Treaty and Government of Ireland Act, 1920. Then there was a War of Independence and Civil War, 1920-'22. The rest is hysteria, against which anything Citizen Adams et al did or are supposed to have done pales into insignificance.

Yes you are "petty enough" Dano !! How narrow your point of view is Lynch (I fail to see why such an un-Irish person would use the Gaelic version of his name) the killings would not have taken place if the British and their surrogate petty so called government in Belfast had represented all the people in the statlet. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the negotiating table with Armalites up their collective ar@@es. And pretentious anti Irish fools like you pretending to take the "high moral ground" are found wanting and lack moral fortitude.

and without GA, and mirror-image killers from the Loyalist side, the GFA (that's the agreement for Irishmen to stop killing their neighbours) wouldn't have been necessary...

That's 'normally'!!

Seano - I'm not mormally petty enough to point out that the term you're grasping for is 'hand wringing'...but given your 'name check', happy to make an exception for your good self...

Well there is an interesting turn of events, although I thought the sunday telegraph last week said that they had found teh remains of Ms McConville? Either way if teh information sought is not there does that not end the waste of funds paying lawyers on both sides of the atlantic? Brave curtis to pick on the poor british on this page, are you not aware that the IRA have them petrified and are teh worst people to ever live, surely some of them will pop on later tonight to remind you!! :-)

Like him or not (personally I'm opposed to his socialism), without Adams the GFA was not possible. By engaging in this witch hunt, the british are displaying their typical level of infidelity and dishonor (perfectly exemplified by their imposition of the penal laws following the Treaty of Limerick).

"Release everything five minutes after the Brits do." Exactly. Of course, they've destroyed many of the records of their worldwide atrocities - see the articles this year on Kenya (which included repeated instances of sexual torture, something the british sickos seem to be obsessed with).

Been away on service with my army buddies for a while, but I see the same old anti people are still on this site complaining about the Irish State with their BLAH BLAH. most of whom appear to live abroad. I'm delighted to be back in dear old peaceful Irish Republic (except for the ongoing gang warfare) after some of the things I've seen. At least we're not at war (though some people would like us to be). How are you George, Seano, Seanmor,pilib04 etc. still thundering on?

We have better things to do. The truth will come out about Adams eventually.

Is Ed Moloney trying to put everybody off the scent? Perhaps he is frightened what the Provos will do to him, as apparently "they haven't gone away you know". The truth will out about Adams one day.

Release everything five minutes after the Brits do.

Where are all the hand ringing anti nationalists today!! Fallsers,Dano and their minions.
