stafford,

Far from not commenting, this is what I wrote on the relevant thread;

“Far from calling for a Ministerial denial of any enquiry, have we seen any confirmation other than a Torygraph assertion that such an enquiry is actually under way?

Seeing as what is being done to and for convicted terrorists I would be amazed if there is any attempt to prosecute a member of the armed forces for any action during the troubles, it would be a legal minefield with the precedents that have been set.”

You may wish to see the NI situation as reinforcing your own political point of view but you are letting emotion cloud the facts. Which party was in power when the Stalker enquiry into a shoot to kill policy in NI was ordered?
