McKevitt trial Web Mayfield The trial of Michael McKevitt, the alleged leader/founder of the Real IRA, is under way in the Special Criminal Court in the 26-county state.

They can't gather enough evidence to pin the bombing specifically on him, so they just made up a new crime that allows anybody to be put away for leading a 'terrorist' organization.

The Dome Of Deceit Anthony McIntyre Today the Irish Voice ran a piece which attacked a number of journalists who have on occasion displayed the temerity to challenge the Sinn Fein version of events. The Irish Voice is best known perhaps for being an echo chamber for the Sinn Fein leadership. It is widely believed that the Sinn Fein leader through either his own column or the pen of Niall O Dowd sends smoke signals indicating where his party is likely to lurch next in its search for respectability and establishment approval. Of those who read the Voice, their number includes readers who wield more than average influence. In today's piece the Andersonstown News business boss, Mairtin O Muilleoir, was praised for having employed his right to reply to an article by Eamon Lynch in the Irish Echo, in a manner which destroyed Lynch's logic.
