"There are many victims' organisations that fear that the Eames/Bradley proposals will ... allow the British state to continue its policy ... of cover up and concealment."
Gerry Adams, who has never attempted to cover up his non-membership of the IRA, nor conceal his non-involvement in the La-Mon massacre.

Jeezo oneil if we were to investigate every claim made by a Unionist MP the cost of hiring psychologists to the tax payer would be enormous. They do have a history of often murderous(well for those accused) accusations.
My (as opposed to any Unionist MP's) point being if one set of "unexplained" murders are to be investigated, then all should be or we're back to the old hierarchy of victims of thing again.
All or none, or the whole "peace resolution" thing is a hypocritical sham.
Exactly. They call for "no heirarchy of victims" However one already exists! It seems the people killed in Londonderry during an illegal civil rights march are more important than say the people murdered on Bloody Friday in Belfast, or those murdered at La Mon. It seems that those solicitors killed Finucane and Nelson are more improtant than the solicitor Edgar Graham. It seems that those people that were "apparently murdered" by the state are more important than those murdered by terrorists some of whom are now nationalist ministers in Executive government. Seems the provos and the majority of nationalists that vote for the terror party what it all ways.

I don't agree that you can compare the brutal actions of the armed forced of the state, of which I am a citizen, to those of so called terrorists/guerrilla fighters. Are you ok with state murder as long as it is your opponents on the recieving end?
Don't know whether to pity you.
Anonymous can provide his own response, but if I were to summarise your (and almost all Republicans') opinion on this it would be:
"Only those families who had loved ones killed/murdered by the state have the right to the truth behind the death/murder"
Is that an accurate summary?
No. And why do you feel that you could summarise my opinion on anything before you have even heard my opinion?
Unless this is another jibe like the one about the likes of me being the Republican opposite to the Orange atavistic neds from Scotland.
Ok what's your opinion on La Mon, are the relatives entitled to know who holds the ultimate responsibility for the massacre? Yes or no?
State "murders"? Since those same nationalist ministers I spoke of are also part of said state, well then.........

What is your point?

Definitely, of course! The crucial point is that these guys are not acting on orders from the state that I am a citizen of.
It's not crucial from the point of view of the victims' families- but we're going round in circles on this, so I'll let you have the last word.
