Boston College

The Boston Globe writes, “Prosecutors have argued that a treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom requires the countries to share information that would help solve open criminal investigations.”

“My husband has been publicly labeled as an informer, the most dangerous pejorative in the Irish republican vocabulary," Twomey wrote. “The stress levels on my family have soared, and I fear that our persecutors will not get the wrong house next time."

A judge has now ordered a temporary hold on handing over the documents until the allegations made by Twomey are investigated.

Academia needs to stick togther on this one. Thirs level student are not de facto intelligence agents. And CIA/Mossad/KGB/Stasi/MI5/6 need to stop encroacing over the boundaries between the two. Hire your own bloody researchers. It's not as if you haven't adequate budgets to do so.

I cannot agree more with CanadianIrish. Don't be throwing gasoline on warm ashes. Destroy the tapes and notes now, and thank God for the judge's ruling. No more blood shed in the tit for tat, Hatfield/McCoy "Troubles"! End the nightmare and live in peace, both Orange and Green.

"A judge has now ordered a temporary hold on handing over the documents..." - FINALLY, a judge with some sense. The U.S. will have blood on its hands if those tapes are handed over. Treaties are made to be broken/amended!
