#1 The Short Strand is a small Catholic area - perhaps a dozen streets surrounded by Protestant East Belfast. I knew well a McCartney from the area and it was an Official IRA hold out when the Provos took over West Belfast. My point - when you know the places and people involved, abstract ideas and principles suddenly become more personal.

#2 These women are incredibly brave - however, I doubt they'll be living in Short Strand much longer once the fuss has died down.

#3 Everything Adams does provides more evidence he is a terrorist.

#4 This is evidence of something I have suspected for a long time. That in Northern Ireland, the vast majority of Roman Catholics, though sympathetic to the cause of Irish unification, abhore the violent B.S. of Sinn Fein, and would like to go about their lives without being watched by a defacto secret police who dispatch those who get "out of line"...

#5 In a statement Mr Adams acknowledged the profound damage to the republican cause wrought by Mr McCartneyâs murder a month ago. âI am deeply angry about the alleged involvement of a number of republicans in the killing of Robert McCartney...â

A subtle, and excellent, bit of writing.
