Former hizbulah Hostage Brian Keenan, backs the campaign to release Sinn Fein clerk Denis Donaldson. Brian Keenan ex middle east hostage sends in a Reference on behalf of prisoner Denis Donaldson, vouching for Denis Donaldson's character and urging the Brit magistrate to release Denis Donaldson's on bail. In further developments, the PSNI admitted that they had misled Prison officers about finding prison officer details in the hands of republicans. A spokesperson for the Prison Service said, 'that there was NO EVIDENCE indicating a change in the level of threat to prison officers', therefore Prison officers were not entitled to increased protection, relocation or increased security measures. Prison officers staged walk outs and stayed off work sick today,'blue flu', after being misled by uncorroborated wild claims, and speculation by the PSNI. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Sure they only found thousand of pages of IRA intelligence at his gaff.
his fingerprints are not on any of the documents.
do you really believe that if he was ira director of intelligence & was simultaneously workin as sf head of admin in stormont he'd keep thousands of docs in a duffle bag in his house?
that sort line is swallowed only by the dimmer Sun readers.
it is spread by people who hold personal grudges & know better.
Even Adams has conceded that its not impossible that such intelligence gathering went on, nor have I heard any of the Sinn Fein leadership mention anything about a plant. You can believe your conspiracy theories if you want, but you're simply deluding youself with you anti "Brit" prejudices

the ira may well be collecting info, i never claimed otherwise.
however my position is that no ira intelligence chief would be so stupid to keep such docs in his own home.
it was stated in court on tues that his fingerprints had not been found on any of the docs. the prosecution accepted this. but muttered about more tests being carried out.
it is part of the defence case that the documents were planted. all of the sf leadership support this proposition.
i suppose brian keenan is motivated by anti brit prejudices as well.
