Ireland, I fully understand your point of view but lets be honest, if it was not for the spy thing it would have something else. Many unionists will go to no limit to scuttle the GFA, the spying just gave them an excuse. What excuse are they going to use when it is realized that all parties gather intelligence. The nationalists have a lot to lose granted, such as basic civil rights often referred to by unionists as concessions.
There is a link between I.R.A. and Sinn Fein but there is also many links between all unionists parties, police and loyalist paramiliotaries, it just not admitted and the institutions are not going to divulge the set up at any cost,there has got to be otherwise people like Adair, and the Egyptian would have been locked up long ago on drug charges alone, not to mentiion paramilitary activity.
I for one am not concerned about the police force either, they, their fathers and grandfathers helped create and maintain the system with all it's inbred bigotry and hatred and with all of it's other faults. They have done nothing in their entire history to endear themselves to the nationalist community, the majority of them wore police uniforms while at work, and then wore orange sashes when not at work. and as such are a major part of the whole problem

I am truly sorry about the wheel chair, I really am believe ,and I am not trying to be glib in saying that my sister, my brother-in-law , four fairly close friends and one really close friend are all in Milltown cemetery. Another family member is blind for life thanks to a rubber bullet. I hope you believe me when I say I am truly sorry.

Good luck.

Jimmy
