Symptom or Disease Paul Dunne In Disbanding RIR necessary, a recent article in the Irish News, we have Brian Feeney sounding, as he increasingly does, more Republican than some soi-disant Republicans. But... (Ah, yeah. There's always a "but" with this fella, ye see. Nothing is ever simple, oh no... I declare, if you held a straw in front of him and said, "D'ya see that, Dunne? That's a straw", begob he'd talk about it for an hour, so he would, and talk straight.), but... Sure, the RIR (alias UDR, alias B-Specials) needs to go; but so does the rest of the British army, and so does the "right" of the British to deploy their army on our soil. I can see the political capital to be gained from focusing on the RIR, but at the end of the day it's just part and parcel of the whole occupation. Also, there's a nasty backlash brewing there, in seeming to reinforce the notion that the problem really is a "sectarian conflict" in a "divided community", not a colonial conflict between Ireland and Britain.

The Supreme Commander Anthony McIntyre Given the interpretation displayed by many reviewers of Ed Moloney's book on the IRA a certain question acquired shape in my mind in relation to Gerry Adams prior to reading it. It had already been given a verbal form of sorts elsewhere when Lord Alistair McAlpine asked of Jeffrey Archer how this consummate conman managed to take in so many intelligent people for so long? Could Moloney have veered too close to the great men of history method of constructing our understanding of the past? Misgivings soon melted.

Who sanctioned British death squads? Time for the Truth Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly has accused the British government of erecting a wall of silence around the whole issue of collusion between unionist death squads and the British state in the course of the past 35 years of conflict.
