Thread Name: BS: The Irish Peace Process
Subject: RE: BS: The Irish Peace Process
most troubling the tripartite commission found that the british security service provided dossiers on a suspected five thousand plus terrorists to the sas then the sas provoded the arms and dossiers to the protestant militants(who in their day jobs were usually members of the ulster constabulary or the royal irish regiment--the only regiment in the britsich army that is recruited and stationed locally and that works part time). so the militants successfuly killed at leat three thousand of these targets before the projexct managers realized that the targets were not ira. most were union leader, day organizers, and comunity activists." – olliamh

Let's see 5,000 dossiers; Protestant militants killed at least 3,000 of them before realizing that they were not IRA but Trade Union Leaders, Day Organizers (??), and Community Activists (??)

Unfortunately this does not accord with the statistics and figures from the Sutton Survey which is considered to be the most comprehensive index of deaths resulting from the conflict in Northern Ireland from 14 July 1969 and 31 December 2001. The Sutton Survey details approximately 3500 deaths and 36,000 injured during the troubles. Draft figures per year have also been tabulated from 2002 to 2009 and they total 58, those are not included I the figures given below.
