It's pretty simple, when you make a claim it's expected that you will back that claim up with evidence so as to prove your point. If you don't do this then how can anyone take your claims seriously?

This so called “united” Ireland isn’t exactly sounding very “United” now is it??. This thread is about as welcome as Liam Adams offering to help out at your kids youth club.....

It was revealed at the Smithwick Tribunal that as PSNI head of intelligence he was its interface with MI5. Hardly a safe set of hands for matters of national security. No adverse reflection on Harris' character intended : he appears to be a talented, experienced and principled Police officer.

I mean one day they might get into power (snigger) and one of them may become minister for justice (snigger, snigger) so surely that are just as dangerous to the country right?

DONTMATTER wrote: » This is a silly online forum. You got confused or something, we're not in court or on the school debating team.
The files have disappeared, the families are still looking for justice. The engineering of the bombs does not consist with previous loyalist efforts. I'll leave you to deny Gerry Adams was in the IRA.

That entire police force was a discredited mess that engaged in collusion, torture and a rake of other human rights abuses. I don't think we should be eagerly welcoming someone coming out of that mire.

FTA69 wrote: » The one whose security agenda is under the exclusive control of MI5? The conflict is over and that's the reason the cops there are no longer operating as a counter-insurgency force; the last thing we need is some RUC old guard who was getting up to god knows what.

FTA69 wrote: » He was a figure within the RUC during a period of reform, and while in a senior role was supposedly working closely with MI5 and conspiring to come up with politically-motivated arrests of Gerry Adams and co. We have no idea of his past, except for the fact he was involved in sections of that police force which were also engaging in collusion with Loyalists.

Timberrrrrrrr wrote: » Sure all the files have been buried/destroyed and they would hardly give an auld republican joe soap access to them anyway It's gas though, we shouldn't trust this man because he has in the past been associated with an organisation that did horrible things, nothing to say hedid them just that he was associated. The same posters saying this would post here 24/7 if an election was called tell9ng us all why we should vote for ST. An organisation FULL of people who have associations to an organisation that murdered innocent people and who have members today in the public eye linked to said murders.

I have never denied Adams was in the IRA so I'm confused as to why you are saying this? 2nd: If you are going to accuse someone if sonethingbits really only right that tounhave evidence to back up your claim. Would it be ok for me to accuse someone of having connections to a child sex ring without Evidence?
