Anthony McIntyre is on the fence, but there is a distant implication he is on the side of the securocrats on this one ..

McIntyre is spot on, no one believes Adams wasn't in the IRA, so why believe him on anything else?

McIntyre's articles are great in many respects, I wonder though how he feels about being the person always quoted by unionists when they're having a go at SF :)

Nice pun ;)

Anthony doesn't like Adams because only for Gerry Anthony wouldn't have got into trouble. Anthony was so devoid of thought and character that he couldn't make up his own mind what was right and what was wrong. Bad Gerry.

It seems to me that unionists are so desperate to attack Sinn Fein that they don't care who they mix with. Combat 18 and dissident republican but no fear of cooperation with the leading nationalist party!

Do they ever think what it does for their longterm credibility? And as for the strategy espoused in 'a long peace'?
