Before this goes much further Dave, I'm just wondering what collusion between Republicans and British forces you're refering to. Republicans met in secret with the British to talk about the situation in N. Ireland. I'm certainly not aware of and would be surprised to hear about documented proof that Republicans killed people on the strength of materials supplied to them by the British. I pointed you in the direction of documents that proved there was collusion between Loyalists and the British Government. If you have similar proof implicating republicans, I for one would be very interested to read about it.
