Subject: RE: BS: Bloody Sunday Report - AT LAST
The radio - Saturday Live, BBC Radio 4 - has just been interviewing a woman who was 16 and wrote a diary of the day. One of her points was that the shooting did not make sense to her. Here was the army which had arrived in NI to protect the civil rights activists from the Unionist majority, shooting those it was supposed to protect. Not quite an occupying army up to that point. Perhaps it would be proper for someone to investigate just where the PBI got their ideas from? (And get them - I've seen a website with far right leaning with a forum group "for squaddies") And work out how to improve their briefings on rules of engagement.
