The section about the Supergrasses in Eamon Collins's was interesting.

How they kept informants from the IRA and INLA in the same wing as ones from Protestant paramilitary groups, like the UDA.

It sounded like an odd law enforcement strategy, to be honest.

Plus, according to him a lot of their testimony had been thrown out in the ensuing years.

Strange approach alright, it's a bit like Batman dressing Robin in a bright colored uniform (not exactly camouflage...) - I mean talk about making it obvious that they are informants!!

A lot of facts are being ignored in the name of peace, appeasement could could have been a factor in the collapse of 'Stormontgate'.
