Yes, I am sure that I heard that a file would be sent to the DPP in Ireland for them to decide whether to prosecute the Paras.

Re: Apology

What a can of worms to open. Lots of relatives and injured people could well be suing Sinn Fein and the IRA - I hope.
When you are in a combat zone and you hear the first round fired you look for a possible target and fire at it. You pray to your God that you have made the right decision maybe, but when you realise it is all over you thank Him that you are still alive and that maybe you got the enemy.

So they try them pour encourager les autres, and those who set policy and had the responsibility for command get off scot free:eek: ... seems like there is no shortage of bs over there, with the real culprits probably covering their asses big time.

I don't think there's any harm done by making apologies for events, when it has been made clear that a Government, or any person has committed what has been found to be a crime.
As far as the Iraq war goes, it was/is a war and I don't recall anyone apologising for any wars.
I am not taking the side of rioters and support our troops but we should at least apologise when innocent people are killed..even if it is by mistake.

two wrongs don't make a right.. the IRA were murdering scum no better than Al-qauda...if any of them did make an apology it may be, I say may be, a small comfort to the relatives of those killed simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What a pity your red blinkers blind you to the injustice of that.
