Why the Boston College Irish oral history project should be discontinued

Go raibh maith agat Danny Morrison for all that you have done for Justice, Freedom and Peace in Ireland. Thanks for your work with the Bobby Sands Trust. And thanks ever so much for all your writings which have been a true inspiration to so many of us. Slan go foill mo chara.

Mr. Morrison , you should be knighted by lord O'Dowd for this article being publish. Also your uncle harry (white) must be turning in his grave ! I think Mr.Morrison is upset cause he was not ask for his story ! WWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I don't believe in any god, I believe in a united Ireland. And now that the church is out of our way, try and stop us.

There were no "victims" during the Troubles. It was a war and the brits lost. You cannot prosecute a soldier for killing his enemy during wartime. If you try that, you will simply return to a wartime period which us true Irish welcome as we all still want all you brits out now and forever, and that includes the orange loyalists and their criminal minions. Back to the barricades! Up the RA!

It has never been just the Project that lacks integrity. One could say that about Boston College as a whole. Lacks integrity. This is the group that tried to give Maggie Thatcher their prestigious Ignatious award on the anniversary of the death of Bobby Sands. Massive protests forced BC to back down.

Why do we object to politicized history only when it's the "Irish" doing it. Orangeman James McPherson was awarded a Pultizer Prize for "Battle Cry Freedom," a widely popular history of the America Civil War. It contained observations like "German and Irish Catholics were under-represented in the Union army because they objected to emancipation." The Union army never recorded the soldiers religions, and the "Irish" weren't present in the early years of the war, because the Union army didn't record the birth place of its soldiers when they enlisted until the later years of the war. The the suidical charge of New York City's Irish Brigade occurred after Lincoln announced emancipation. Proportionally as many Irish-born soldiers won the Medal of Honor before and after Emanicipation: rates of Medal of Honor awards are very highly correlated with enlistments and combat mortalities. Only God knows if they were Catholics, and she doesn't care.

World Council of Churches: "Terrorism – is to be condemned... Perpetrators should be brought to justice World Council of Churches: Ten years after 9/11 The head of the the World Council of Churches, which brings together over 340 major Protestant, Orthodox, Anglican, Peace Church and indigenous Christian communions in conversation with the Roman Catholic Church worldwide, is from Norway - a country which has been exposed to the horror of terrorism recently. "Terrorism in all its forms – whether committed by individuals, groups or states – is to be condemned. But one may reasonably ask how best to respond. Perpetrators should be brought to justice and security measures devised to prevent the repetition of such trauma. Many of us remain convinced that nonviolence can be the most helpful long-term response to violence and the most effective means toward a lasting peace based on justice. "As Jesus taught, 'Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted' ... and, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.' "God of life, lead us to justice and peace! Amen." Rev Dr Olav Fykse Tveit General secretary World Council of Churches

I agree with DANNY MORRISON. This thing no longer has any integrity, close it down.
