    Surely that depends. If the Taliban are hiding out in the nonce wing at HMP Wandsworth then bombs away.

    Aaahh! I would love to hear about these sainted ladies in their final hours, screeching in agony as they shuffle off their mortal coil and dying of Advanced Aggressive Maggoty Clunge Rot, perfic!

    The Irish Independent
    Price, a convicted IRA bomber, accuses the Louth TD of not only approving the
    bombing of targets in Britain -- including London's Old Bailey -- but of personally ordering the abduction of
    several people whom the IRA considered to be traitors. It is an extraordinary charge sheet and one which has a deep personal motive behind it. She feels that Adams has "betrayed" the republican cause by being involved in the peace process and that he has betrayed her and other IRA members by denying that he was one of
    their number.
    It has always astonished me that Adams has been allowed by the general run of the Irish to peddle the lie that he was never in PIRA. I suppose that they're so used to lies that this one is just something they expect. I just can't understand how they would ever hope to build a good and true United Ireland on the foundation of such deceit, misery and psychopathy.

    The whole thing is a disaster as a historical record might have been useful but then you dont advertise the **** youve made the recordings by writing a book.
    Bet the first lawyer Boston college mentioned this to jumped with glee seeing large fees for countless hopeless appeals.
    On a Hot morning in cyprus I found the meaning of anger. Fortunataly I was comftably numb.
    The RSM and various other NCO's seemed very agitated.
    maybe they should look into counselling?

    Are you younger than I thought?

    Or are the Dropkick Murphy's older than I thought?

    On topic: I don't understand how you could effectively cover up the fact that somebody collaborated in a criminal act. Why protect her? Driving people away in the night was probably the most effective scare tactic of the IRA when it came to keeping power in their communities. The fact that it happened to a mother for what people claim was generally nothing is overly despicable and I wouldn't necessarily be unhappy if Dolours and the rest of her ilk met the same fate.

    US court rules Dolours Price interview must be given to PSNI

    Sorry everybody, but why are the US involved in this case? I thought the Troubles were our problem, not the yanks.
    "Be an example to your men, in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered and teach your subordinates to do the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide."
    - Field Marshall Erwin Rommel

    I'll give you old school ally, but we're on a new level of ally as yet unquantifiable by man!

    So you don't have to read the entire thread a team from Boston College, in Newton, MA, USA interviews participants in the "troubles" for a historical archive with the understanding that the transcripts would not be released in their lifetime. UK now seeks the transcripts for evidence and the motions to quash the subpoenas is before a US court as they have jurisdiction in the US
