"Why do you challenge Saville with your use of "/imagined"
It has taken thirty-odd years to reach the situation where we can claim without contradiction that there has been a massacre of innocent civilians; now we are looking at the detail. I haven't read the report in full (have you/has anybody here) but I understand that the evidence for IRA fire came from those who have been found to have carried out the massacre ("they would say that, wouldn't they" springs to mind instantly, I'm afraid) - we'll see.
Why are you attempting to scapegoat soldiers under orders for what is obviously (to me anyway) a political/military decision to violently suppress a demonstration, especially as it had happened not too long before in Derry when the police deliberately routed a protest march to place the demonstators at the mercy of a screaming mob?
