Big Guns Bearing Down on the McCartney StoryCaptain's Quarters, the #9 blog in links and #17 in traffic,
turns its awesome gaze on the McCartney murder. Great post as usual by Captain Ed, and he even caught a detail that I had missed. Martin McGuinness, a major Sinn Fein leader (and reported member of the IRA ruling council) declined to condemn the IRA's offer to shoot the killers:
"I totally and absolutely disagree with any punishment shootings whatsoever.
"But I think we shouldn't lose sight of the other messages that are clearly in this because I think it dispels absolutely any notion whatsoever that the IRA would cover up for or protect the perpetrators of the murder of Robert McCartney."
