    Sounds like he has a good case for suing for wrongful imprisonment.

    He should get these people on the case......

    You've got it wrong again. He was questioned for that length of time. Not falsely accused ......... except by the Brit-loving jury on boards.ie

    Just another example of confused thinking among the ranks of the Anti Republican movement.

    Then that answers my question. Thanks.

    Absolutely, its the no. 1 tactic of terrorism, they would not have been very good terrorists if they did not kill lots of civilians, they killed far more civilians than they did military or police personnel. I can't believe someone living today does not know this. Shocking really.

    What agreement was broken when Adams was arrested?


    And do you accept that SF (well MMcG anyway) was threatening to withdrawing support for the PSNI if Adams was charged?

    Ever heard of the Good Friday agreement?

    Martin McGuinness is pretty eloquent. He did not threaten anything in a veiled way. Your perception is akin to the paranoia that pervades the northern Unionist's psyche.
    And why would you rather believe First Minister Peter Robinson's accusation of "Sinn Fein's bully boy tactics"?

    According to Wiki – ‘The Troubles’ –

    ‘Approximately 60% of the dead were killed by republicans, 30% by loyalists and 10% by British security forces’

    Of’ those killed by republican paramilitaries:
    • 1080 (~52%) were members of the British security forces
    • 728 (~35%) were civilians’

    728 is an awful lot of ‘accidents’.

    Like for example all those people who were ‘accidentally’ murdered in the Birmingham bombings...

    I did. What part of it do you think was broken when the PSNI arrested Adams?

    (SF) will reflect and review its support for policing in the region if Mr Adams is charged.
    You honestly do not see a threat there?
    Hypothetically, if the British government said they would reflect and review its support for the NI assembly unless SF took a particular course of action, would you not interpret that as a threat?

    I didn’t mention Robinson, only what McGuinness said.

    You got it wrong by linking an inappropriate site.

    You never said he was yet you link www.falselyaccused.co.uk.

    Falsely accused does not equal questioning.

    Unless YOU think it does!

    Of course they did. What else would you call it when they explode bombs in shopping streets - a mishap?

    yes, but you'll find the IRA deliberately killed far more civilians than the BA ever did.

    Thus redefining the word terrorism in the dictionary.

    The post Karl replied to states that "they killed far more civilians than they did military personal".

    From your own stats, that is plainly wrong.

    wrong, wrong, wrong, you're wrong, etc.

    no, just the IRA being the cowardly terrorists that they are, blowing up kids out shopping and pregnant women.

    Yeah but theres a clause now in the dictionary that says :

    *except the BA cause they didn't kill as many as the RA

    Like for example all those people who were ‘accidentally’ murdered in the Birmingham bombings...

    Coded bomb warnings were issued. The police were more interested in looking through the upper levels of The Rotunda building and extremely slow in clearing a pretty average size basement pub (Tavern In The Town) in New St when they bombs went off.
    Just think. If you get a coded bomb warning (ie one that has a pre-ordained name attached) .......... the practice would be to get all people away from the area mentioned. No?
