yeah man, I know, it wont be. Its a war that was going on long before I was born and will continue long after I'm gone.
Worrying that some of the posts here and on other threads are almost coming out in favour of the murder. Are there IRA sympathisers here?????????

We're all Irish, but we're not all murderers

Let's see the guy was on the take and paid by the British to be a spy informant. Pay back is a bitch.

My Cymru forbears wave a daffodil at you and my Irish kin wave the shamrock.

Yes, and I'm getting weary of flame wars with them all the time, they are so convinced that I'm an Orangeman because of my opinions - they can't figure that the southern Irish hate the IRA!!

Anyone who gets into the Spy Business should not expect longevity.

Nah, the IRA have just shifted gears - now they are simply conspiring to overthrow the democracy in southern Ireland!!

Yes, that seems to be the mantra of most terrorists these days.

If he was paid to spy on a terrorist group, so what?

While I am not an Irish Republican , I understand why the IRA would want him dead. Moreover, if he had been spying for Al Queda against the USA I would want to see him dead.

Spying is a very dangerous profession.

I will, I would find it tonight, but I'm busy with a couple of other things online.

I can understand your frustration man.
The thing is the poor devils dont have a clue about the situation. Just what they get from Fox News, and thats hardly a reliable source.
How can an American support the 'War on Terror' and yet support the IRA? Thats a Janus complex if there ever was one...

True. Many professions are dangerous, not just spying.
