Firstly Gerry Adams WAS the Commander in Chief of the army.

He worked his way through Seamus Twoney,Joe Cahal and Joe O'Hagan to gain control of the army.

There were two types of people went into the cages of Long Kesh, political activists and army volunteers. Adams always wanted control of both, he was always a political activist primarily. Ivor Bell once said "Never let the tail wag the dog" he was right.

Regarding the McConville murder, that was wrong, yes there were issues concerning her lifestyle and social life, but I repeat, it was wrong to execute her.

Adams was involved in the decisions concerning this case. Brendan Hughes went to his grave saying it, I knew Brendan and believe him. Ivor Bell also stated it, Ivor has his faults, believe me, but he was in a position to know.

Adams presented himself to the station, it was nothing more than a PR stunt to improve BRITISH Sinn Fein's standing among republican communities with the elections coming up in a few weeks time. British Sinn Fein activists are getting pounded on the doorsteps, this is a stunt to make Adams one of the boys again.
