Lest anyone need an example of how weak the position is of those who are bringing this prosecution against the two British Soldiers, have a read of the attachment. I could clearly remember the incident at the time and knew I could find reference to it. Indeed, with the IRA immune to prosecution for all their past acts of violence, this really does leave a bitter taste in the mouth when the moral position and justification of their behaviour and that of the British Army are compared. I wonder how the 'families' and the 'lawyers' for 'victims' of the British Army rationalize continuing to pursue the British Soldiers but leave the amnesty for the IRA and INLA in tact?
This is PIRA, the guy killed was OIRA which ultimately moved into politics and form part of Labour party in Dublin today.
The HET is part of gettinng to the root of some of the killings, it is part of PSNI.
It involves the actions of all sides as it should.
