When confirmation like this is coming out and you look at incidents like Loughisland, Bloody Sunday etc etc you wonder were the IRA actually a necessity up there in order to protect Catholics. Catholics originally welcomed the British army into Belfast, they cheered them down the streets with cups of tea and biscuits as they thought they were there to protect them from the suffering they had endured from the RUC. That opinion quickly changed.
