My God, has the Curator lost his mind (and memory) entirely? Trying to paint the Provos as some sort of honourable organization is simply unacceptable to most people in Northern Ireland. Attempting to re-write history and ignoring attrocities like The La Mon House massacre, in which the Provos incinerated members of a dog club by placing napalm bombs on window grilles, or the bombing of a Poppy Day gathering in Enniskillen, demonstrates approval of indiscriminate murder on a grand scale.

And don't counter by pointing out murders committed by loyalist gangs - they're every bit as bad and deserve the scorn of decent people everywhere.
