A Tangled Web

TORQUEMADA RETURNS.



Look out, here she comes! It Nuala O'Loan, wife of a pro-Agreement SDLP representative and Police Ombudsperson for NI.

In her "damning" report on the RUC investigation into the murder of Mr. Brown in Bellaghy, she holds no punches.



Of course any sloppiness should be exposed as the full rigour of the law is brought to bear on all these cases. However I get the feeling that our Nuala's enthusiasm to do down the proud and honourable reputation of the RUC may, allegedly, have the teeniest-weeniest political stripe to it. After all, as a creature of the Agreement spawned by the Agreement, destroying the RUC's image is a good way to keep the job, isn't it?



Can we expect that our Ombudsperson will instigate a detailed investigation into the events surrounding Bloody Friday? Just who was guilty of planning this? Have sufficient policing resources been allocated against this? Come on Nuala, let's see how pro-active and balanced your office is.
