Well, well, well, inOBU. May I quote you ?

"I would remind you that the founder of Amnesty Internaitonal, who was deputy Sec. Gen. of the UN, was the former comander in chief of the IRA,"

You resurrect Seán Mc Bride, (son of Maude Gonne-Mc Bride) who famously declared that the only way to deal with the provies would be to put them up against a wall. Check the Irish Times archives for the precise time and date. And, by the way, the only IRA man you quote is ex-IRA, hardly, as you put it, among the ranks of " many volunteers in the IRA are well know and outspoken" I think you need to read with a more open mind and not swallow all the Republivan guff that their publicity machine spews forth to gullible foreigners. Talking about this machine, they have been strangely silent since Trimble mugged them last week. They have no answer. They were ambushed and they know it. Even the American Press who rolled out the red carpet for Adams et al. in the past are now beginning to see that the emperor has no clothes after all. Come off it. They're beat and they won't admit it. Trevor
