Undercover Diplomat - “more like politicians now, than capos”
The third and final clip from The Undercover Diplomat is the shortest of the three at only 35 seconds. It’s Powell’s comment on a visit to Downing St on 5th July 2005 by Adams and McGuinness, a few months after the events noted in the first clip. The Provisional IRA statement was made public on 28th July. Transcribed from the clip: [reading] “It’s funny. They do seem more like politicians now, than capos.” [To camera] “I think I felt a sense of pride. Not proud in myself, I think, but proud of what they had achieved. It was a bit like watching your children graduate from college. You thought ‘fantastic’. Now they’re free, now they’ve done it, and they’re on their own.”

Ahem
Just cause their fingers werent on the trigger doesnt mean they didnt aim the gun!
papa doc was particularily guilty of this crime, he might not have killed any one personally, he is guilty of having thenm killed

Posted by on Apr 14, 2008 @ 03:02 PMtry imagining that statistic reversed, and just how much Republican whining, I mean, justified moral outrage there’d rightly be about it.
Actually, I don’t recall much ‘whining’ from Republicans or indeed nationalists with Billy Hutchinson’s involvement in the process and he has an actual conviction for murder. So that pretty much answers your point.
No Unionist MLAs have murdered anyone.
Couldn’t say that about the Unionist members of the old Stormont parliament (which no longer exists due to the humiliation of the republican movement (ditto RUC, UDR, B specials etc)), now could we?
Posted by on Apr 14, 2008 @ 03:04 PMOf course there wasn’t Republican whining about Hutchinson, you silly sod - leaving to one side that he’s not a Unionist, any more than Durkan is a Republican - Republicans rejoiced at having Hutchinson involved as a pathetic umbrella to thereby pretend to thsmelves shield their own innumerable crimes were mutual and not individual. God forbid any Republican should ever take any personal responsibility for anything.
And as far as the old Stormont goes (and how mild, by Republican standards, to go back a mere near 40 years - whatever happened to the other 760 years of suffering?), feel free to libel as many of the dead as you feel able. Still a damn sight more killers in the Sinn Fein Stormont grouping we have here today in the real world. A place I’m sorry to have to mention to you, as I appreciate few if any Republicans like visiting the place.

Posted by on Apr 14, 2008 @ 03:25 PMSuperb work boys. Still leaves: murderous Unionist MLAs = 0; murderous Sinn Fein MLAs = anyone?

Oh do tell- who?
Surely not DI Nixon again who..er.. won several libel actions against the Irish News and Derry Journal when they tried that onePosted by on Apr 15, 2008 @ 08:17 AMMaybe it would be easier to ask the Provettes to identify which SF MLAs haven’t murdered anyone?
