All these legal niceties – what are they worth? Has not history taught you that the powers that be will get a verdict they want/need?
Why would a man like Day make such a contentious decision unless he had a reason?
Imagine what it would have been like if this case had been left open – a dangerous can of worms.
Only a couple of weeks earlier, the other potential obstacle to the peace process had fortuitously ceased to be – the untimely death of John Smith (by all accounts a good and honest man) allowed the compliant closet Catholic Bliar to be in control of the Labour Party when it was tipped to get in by a landslide at the next election.
Unless this crash had been pronounced an accident with a verdict against the pilots that implied absolutely no doubt whatsover factions of the general public (and others) may have thought it just too much of a coincidence.
With the passage of time and the ensuing emasculation of the cultures and the collective memory, the powers that be should no longer be that bothered about this case – and so the push to get the pilots names cleared may well be successful now.
I personally think that, if there had been something going on that could have been willfully interfered with and any such possibility had not been explored then this may prove to be a hollow victory.
