Mistakes were made, which was regretable; but quite honestly, it was a serious attempt to take the sting out of the provos, which went, as usual, horribly wrong. However, the IRA proved brilliant at spin and public relations, and the British always played into their hands. Can you honestly say that those interened, although may "NEVER planted bombs or used a gun", were not involved in IRA terrorism in other ways? We have only your word. However, to go back to my original point, Long Kesh, whatever it's wrongs, cannot be compaired to concentration camps. Only those suspected of criminal acts, however unjustly, were imprisoned: no-one else, not their families.
