I will leave it to others to decide. I stand by my facts Keith. Both Dark Horse and myself have stated BOTH sides in the WAR did not record ALL their losses. I do not dismiss the work of historians, they worked with the material made available to them from official sources.

Was I there, yes I was and I hope another generation doesn't have to go through it. It is unlikely they ever will. Active republican groups are small in number and do not have the support within the community and are infiltrated by agent provocateurs. There are three active groups now, they are ripping eachother apart in and outside of the prisons and will never unite as a creditable threat.

The basic principles of republicanism was sold at a cost. Many republicans of renown and standing just walked away from it, including myself. Adams played a very shrewd game, I repeat, there is a senior British agent within the leadership of Sinn Fein.

As a party, they were rewarded by the British government in a number of ways, that included ditching the 1996 plan, the St, Andrews agreement with of a threat of join sovereignty by Tony Blair who arrived at the meeting that Sunday afternoon in a foul mood, spoke for 20 minutes and left, requesting an solution by the next day.

The inclusion of ranked Provisionals in a financial pension package that had just been agreed for the RUC, Prison Service and Ulster Defence Regiment did take place, it was the only way Sinn Fein could sell it to certain individuals. I repeat, their pension package came by a more unorthodox route.

Keith, your choice to believe me matters little to me, there will come a time in your life you will hear the truth about these matters from other sources and won't be as quick to dismiss them.
