WLD there's the "if" word again. Several people above accused Sands of murder outright, no if's and's, or but's. I merely asked for proof. There is none. Unlike his detractors I know people who knew Sands, well. Of the two camps, and bearing in mind the tone of the discussion here to date I prefer to take the word of the latter.

How could Sands possibly know what would transpire after he was dead? That would appear to be conjecture.

I was waiting for your arrival Keith. What took you so long? Now where do we start with your post? Please define, "very active IRA volunteer." Now be careful with your answer Keith your track record on here is questionable in matters pertaining to our wee province you won't get all your answers on google and please what do you know about my beliefs in regard to what is or isn't murder?

Wit or no Mr. Guitar certainly nails his colours to the mast. You don't see them the way I do. Does that make me wrong?

And now I am off out to a wine tasting. I hope everyone has a pleasant evening in my absence.
