It must be a process that can deliver the truth to bereaved families as a result of independent investigation. And it must analyse the policies and practices that sustained and fuelled the conflict.
Adams calling for an independent "truth process" last night in Warrington.
I believe in the concept of the open society, I agree with Adams, in our small part of the world we do need a "truth process; when will he give this much needed “process” the kick-start it requires by admitting his own role within the conflict?
When will his organisation admit the real motivation behind events such as La Mon, Enniskillen, Kingsmills, Teebane and Claudy?
Why, for example, did Irish Republicans attempt this second bombing in Fermanagh, on the exact same day as the massacre at the Enniskillen Cenotaph
That day, the IRA also placed a bomb near the Remembrance service in Tullyhommon, 15 miles from Enniskillen, but it failed to explode.
Unlike Enniskillen, there was a limited security force presence at that parade. Those taking part were overwhelmingly young people – around 200 members of the local boys' and girls' brigades.
Why a no-warning bomb in at a Remembrance parade with a limited security presence?
Why bomb a Remembrance day parade which involved over 200 young people, all "non-combatants", the vast majority children of border protestant families?
Until Adams (or perhaps McGuinness) comes clean on that one, we'll be left to draw our own conclusions as to why the local IRA chose these innocents as "legitimate targets".
And until Adams delivers the truth on the many other "events" such as this that his,sorry, make that "allegedly his", organisation carried out, then he has no moral right whatsoever to deliver this kind of hypocrisy:
It is especially time for the British government to stop procrastinating and stalling.
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, otherwise the process is meaningless.
