I don't have to guess about Adams role within the army, I know it. I can't understand how the media has allowed him to get away with publicly lying about it and other matters.

Take these examples,

He told the family of Jean McConville, that he was in jail when she was abducted – but he had been out of the Kesh for over ten months !

He publicly claimed that a vivid prison memory was singing a Monty Python song, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, with other inmates, after being brutally beaten by prison officers. The song was not written until a year after his release !

He spoke of supporting Aine, his niece, when she told him she had been abused by her father, Liam, his brother. He told her, "Our Liam can't cope with life and I am trying to get him to meet you, but you know he is a man under stress and has become reclusive" when in fact Liam was running a youth project in Beechmount, five minutes walk from Gerry Adams's home and the Sinn Fein Press Centre !


If Gerry Adams is charged it will be based on evidence from his own pen and his own actions (secret IRA talks with the British) and not anything coming from the memoirs of deceased IRA personnel.

Why are SF complaining about the arrest of Adams? Gerry has said for years now that anyone with information pertaining to the murder of Jean Mc Conville should bring that information to the PSNI even anonymously,then he complained at last nights press conference about police referring to information from witnesses "R" "S" and "B" . Maybe just maybe someone has taken him at his word.

Martin Mc Guinness stood on the steps of Stormont with Peter Robinson and head of the PSNI and announced that anyone who had information on those republicans who planted bombs or shot PSNI officers were to bring that information to the PSNI because these republicans were traitors . So if this is what they said then why are they now complaining?

I wish they would make their minds up. Sinn Fein's Kevin Campbell (a former mayor of Derry City and close friend of Adams) made a comment on Twitter referring to the Boston tapes as a "Touting Programme". As Derry's former first citizen, exactly what advice does Mr Campbell have for people who may be in possession of information pertaining to the circumstances surrounding the death of Jean McConville or other IRA activity carried out prior to the Good Friday Agreement?


In my opinion, they were in such a race to respectability that they discarded all and sundry around them and joined the opposition. "Come into my Empire said the spider to the fly"
