Anthony that comment from Adams to me shows how important it is to get on record the testimonies from all on the ground participants in that grubby affair and not the sanitized version that Adams and his cronies and the brits would foist upon the public.

I was reading an article the other day Monday possibly Tuesday in the Irish News it was about the disappeared,Colombo Mc Veighs (one of the disappeared)brother was calling on Adams and Mc Guinness to become more pro active in the search and recovery of the bodies.Adams reply made my blood boil and proved if proof was needed how important that the testimonies of the ordinary volunteers involved in our so called troubles be recorded and how crucial a role B.C could have played in recording the truth about our past,Adams said in relation to the testimonies of Brendan Hughes and Dolores Price,that they could not be taken seriously as both these people were "ill" at the time.surely thats proof if it was needed that we cant let these people spin a web of lies about our past and more importantly cover up their involvement in it.

Absolutely correct Mick and if it was a genuine evidence gathering exercise,why havent they the psni/ruc pulled in Scap there is nothing went on in that period of time that he ,their top( or one of) agent that he would not have had the full knowledge of.truth and justice have nothing at all whatsoever to do with this exercise.

This is a good piece , a couple of questions spring out from it.

Firstly look at who the U.S. has signed similar treaties, Argentina, Bahamas, Canada, Hungary, Italy, Jamaica, South Korea, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Panama, Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom (Cayman Islands), United Kingdom and Uruguay.

Hardly top draw as the English elites would say, apart for Canada and Holland, and why they would get involved it such a stitch up one can only guess.

The second question is why did the RUC ignore Jean McConville's disappearance between 1972 and 1995 and not classify her death as a murder until 1995?

Who were they protecting? Not the McConville children that is for sure as they had a dogs life during those years.

IRISH AMERICAN UNITY CONFERENCE

Re: Holder/Clinton Silence on UK subpoena of Boston College Irish Records--Update

Please note two events that occurred yesterday that are critical to our campaign to make the UK accountable for the murder of attorney Patrick Finucane.

1. Speaker Boehner & Minority Leader Pelosi had a press conference to support Chinese human rights lawyer Chen Guangcheng and to seek action by the Chinese government to hold those accountable for the persecution of Chen and his family.

2. A bill to grant permanent trade relations (exempt them from Jackson-Vanik restrictions set up during persecution of Russian Jewry) is being stalled because Senator Cardin and Senator McCain want Russia to be penalized for the imprisonment death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky who exposed corruption.

There you have it. Americans wanting accountability for the murder of lawyers in other nations and willing to stand up to the Obama administration to do so. Isn't it time these same Members of Congress demand accountability for the admitted murder of lawyer Patrick Finucane by UK and loyalist vigilantes??

Please bring this to the attention of the Members of Congress whose support we seek in standing up and opposing the subpoenas of Attorney General Holder who seems willing to play doormat by subpoenaing tapes requested by the UK as they invade the Boston College Irish archives. Here's a thought. The records will be released when Britain holds those accountable for the Finucane killing and not before. Isn't that the American way of upholding our values of justice and the rule of law?

Please make whatever calls, meetings faxes etc today and tommorow so our campaign can show what America really should stand for and NOT what America should oppose.
