The paras killed 14 unarmed people, and it should never have happened, and there was a vigorous cover-up effort, that much is clear. Does anyone even try to deny that now? The arguments are about how far it was planned and authorised in advance, and how far it was spontaneous.

But fair enough - they didn't shoot any small children, and they didn't fire heavy machine-guns into the crowd and into neighbouring houses.

I note that this story doesn't seem ri be seen as that significant in the media - see Google news -"Search and browse 4,500 news sources updated continuously, " and it doesn't even mention it on its front page at this time. (That link will of course lead to whatever page is current at the time when it's clicked). )
