According to the NY Post, FWIW, the sisters have been invited to the White House for St. Patrick's Day.

Excellent! I wonder if the sisters or the girlfriend wrote a letter to President Bush.

The IRA's brutal arrogance has finally won it a new and truly formidable enemy. His name is Bush.
YES! His name is Bush!!!! God Bless Him and help him rid the world of thugs such as these.

I knew there was violence in Ireland, but I had no idea that it was this bad. What a brave family!

Well done and thank you Mr President.

Then making off with the cassette from the CCTV, they proceeded to destroy all the forensic evidence associated with the killing.

I loved the IRAs' Alex Maskey (Lord mayor of Belfast) defense of this. He claimed the tapes were not been recorded at the time, but said nothin' about the dozens of witnesses that are compelled to silence.

As well as the sisters McCartney and Bridgeen. I hope they continue to rail against the IRA, and, in doing so, will give other people courage to do the same!

The IRA is nothing more than a terrorist organization, and it's a disgrace that there are those in this country that support it.

How brave of the sisters and the girlfriend. May they find comrades and allies of support in their countrymen.

South Boston. I worked there for a couple of years and the Noraid people were always hitting up businesses for "donations". I lost a couple of windshields and sets of tires for saying no. I'm Catholic, and I hate the IRA. And I'm still furious that the Pope sent a rosary to Bobby Sands in 1981.

And these "good" Catholics will still turnout for the Kennedys & Kerrys.

I'm Catholic, and I hate the IRA.

Ditto that

And I'm still furious that the Pope sent a rosary to Bobby Sands in 1981.

Unfortunately, this long conflict will not end even in my children's lifetime. The rhetoric on both sides has been too severe for too long. I'm a 'Protty', and I remember being shocked and outraged by some of Ian Paisley's inflammatory and bigoted remarks, where on more than one occasion he referred to Catholicism as 'The Whore of Babylon' (and you WON'T make any friends talking THAT way). However, the IRA has always been short on rhetoric, choosing instead to rely on terror as their primary form of 'diplomacy'. The conflict's end will be in sight when ordinary people on both sides determine that silence (of the kind practiced by the witnesses to Mr. McCartney's abduction; and the kind practiced by the victims' families when compelled by despair) is less tolerable that the status quo.

Don't you think this is happening now? At least hopeful signs that it may be beginning?

<< According to the NY Post, FWIW, the sisters have been invited to the White House for St. Patrick's Day. >>

They have -- and the "ira's" "politicians" [Fronts] have been dis-invited!

Although this is not a fresh development.

We -- President Bush and the Administration included -- have been awake to the trans-national Marxist mob of bank-robbing, drug-and-gun-running, lying, looting, thieving, cravenly mass-murdering, psychopathological gangster bastards that so grandiosely calls itself the "ira," for decades -- but accutely ever since the Cli'ton Crime Family first allied itself with it.

And -- particularly given Tiny Blair's grotesque serial apeeasements of it -- even more acutely since September 11 2001.

Terrorists are terrorists -- they have no national loyalties -- and we have, [I have] up close and personal, for more than thirty years, seen the multinationally-corporate ira's death cultists with other terrorists in every corner of the globe.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

<< The peace process didn't draw the Sinn Fein movement away from these defining toxins: quite the reverse. In the agreeable culture of [The deeply character-flawed Blair's serial] appeasement[s], the political antibodies that should have been combating the spread of the republican virus failed to respond.

So, far from being banned from the airwaves, republicans inhabited them almost full-time, and the Sinn Fein malignancy spread through nationalist Ireland, north and south of the border. >>

Beyond the understanding of what it is -- that it is evil -- there can be no "understanding" reached WITH evil in any of its manifestations. Evil simply is and the self-styled "ira's" inherent evil is not by one iota different and/or separable from Hitler's or Mao's or Stalin's or Assad's or Hussayne's or Daschle Arafat's.

Or Mahummid's: -- Whose evil has inspired them -- every one -- and/or inspires them still.

Slick Willie's Crime Family muscled Kennedy's for its chunk of the ira's loot.

Chelsea Cli'ton's trust fund didn't get to be valued in excess of a net Three Billion Dollars on the paltry "earnings" of her co-serial-rapist, serial-parasitical "parents."

Until he hit DC Slick's biggest monthly paycheck was around $2,100.00 after taxes and his "spouse," Bruno, was a gangster's brown-paper-bag-woman -- and to this day has never held a real job -- nor earned an honest Shekel.
