John EvansYou are correct. Sinn Fein and the IRA cannot have it both ways. If it was a rogue operation then they cannot embrace them and claim they are entitled to the benefits of the GFA. If it was not a rogue operation, then they are entitled to those benefits; of course then the IRA would have to embrace the crime committed by them.
For me, as an Irish citizen, the Adare murder asks a whole load of questions that the IRA, and Sinn Fein have never answered. Indeed I can't believe that when Gerry Adams starts banging on about these guys being released under the Good Friday agreement that he's not pinned on it by the media.
