Post-St. Paddy's Day PostI was pleased to see that the News Hour with Jim Lehrer did
a segment last night on the McCartney sisters and their quest to bring their brother's killers to justice. Of course, the story will promptly disappear from the media here in the US, now that St. Patrick's Day is over and the sisters are presumably winging their way home, as is Gerry Adams.
I have taken down the "Gerry Adams is coming" picture from the top banner; he's come and gone. However, I don't intend on stopping my blogging on the McCartney issue, the Northern Bank robbery and others involving the IRA and the peace process in Northern Ireland. As always, I highly recommend
Slugger O'Toole and
Richard Delevan as the two blogs that seem to have the best handle on the situation over there.
In the meantime, here is a
very tough article on Adams and the IRA.
[W]ill any of those who entertain Adams this week have the guts to ask him precisely what role he played in the murder of Jean McConville in 1972? Was he really the commander of the death squad that murdered this mother of 10, as is alleged, or can he account for his movements at the time of her death?
