hi. i'm irish so i guess welcome. the jury is kinda out...well, unless you are an fan of lord william john kenneth diplock, the P.O.T.A. and D.O.R.A. and special powers acts. i think p,w, botha was particularly fond of great britain's special poewer act saying that he would trade all the apartheid legislation in south africa for mone paragraph of the UK's special powers act.
i am not exactly sure which is more preferable to the british, internment without trial or lord diplock's trial without jury. i know general sir frank kitson preferred juryless trials, as he was the one who orchestrated the bogside massacre. it nseemed cleaner, i think.
the report from the widgery tribunal was a good read.
anyway, really, welcome. i'm just bustin' your chops, ma'am...don't be goin' all gombeen on me...lol. i'll pos rep you...and check out my link to meet some very nice people, many of whom aren't isish.
beidh ar la linn, mo chara. failte agus beannacht.
