“If Bloody Sunday had been limited to a few troopers and their commander, why was the truth so long stonewalled and the cover-up so doggedly continued? Why did the families of the victims have to wait so long for the truth? Meanwhile the families of many other victims of unjustified shoot-to-kill, plastic bullet, or collusion murders, continue to wait for justice.”

Anyone who cares about this great hospital needs to get onto TDs immediately especially John Gormley and Chris Andrews. ... read full story / add a comment
