Sinn Fein and the Embarrassing Three Anthony McIntyre 1/5/2002 Sinn Fein have not had an easy week. Hounded from many different directions the party exudes the appearance that it is tottering and struggling to maintain its balance. Given the pounding it has sustained, that it is not punch drunk by now is testament to its considerable ring craft. From the moment Henry Hyde, chair of the International Relations Committee sent his letter to Sinn Fein asking Gerry Adams to 'appear and help us determine what the Sinn Fein leadership knew about the IRA activities with the FARC narco-terrorists in Colombia and when did Sinn Fein learn of them?', it was clear that the knotted tie of the IRA was being moved uncomfortably close to the party windpipe. Sinn Fein denied receiving any letter. But things in relation to Colombia can move very slowly within the party - it was months, we are led to believe, before its leadership learned that Niall Connolly was in fact a member. And according to Gerry Adams on Hearts and Minds the leadership went to Cuba rather than Belfast to learn this. Presumably Hyde's letter went via Cuba also. Comments: 3:15:17 PM
