A Tawny Sinew Anthony McIntyre On Saturday the 10th of August the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association staged a white line picket in West Belfast. Between 50 and 70 people took part as the moving picket snaked its way between traffic from a mural on the Whiterock Road to another one close to Albert Street. It was colourful, loud and good humoured and received a hearty response from passing motorists who sounded their horns. Comments: Google It! 6:31:54 AM

Special Branch: Still Untouchable Gerry Kelly On 12 December, the Ombudsman published her report indicting the Special Branch and the RUC leadership over their role at the time of the Omagh bomb. She was also highly critical of the obstacles placed in the path of her inquiry into vital issues. Former RUC Chief Ronnie Flanagan responded on 24 January. He in effect binned the Ombudsman's recommendations. On 7 February it was the turn of the new Policing Board to publish its recommendations.
