I do not recognise myself in your post Lox.
I did not attempt to justify the killings did I?
For the record, I do not.
I do not claim to know better.
The report actually says, "As we have stated, the evidence of paramilitary gunfire in Sector 1 is confusing. However, we have no doubt that OIRA 1 fired the shot that hit the drainpipe on the side of the Presbyterian church; and we equally have no doubt that there was other paramilitary gunfire in this sector before soldiers of 1 PARA went into the Bogside. The evidence suggests to us that this was probably firing by members of the Official IRA."

Am I not allowed to draw attention to these overlooked sections?
What have you got against me Lox?
