THE TRUTH COMMISSION..



So ubercop Hugh Orde now feels that he is entitled to discuss the nature of a looming "truth and reconciliation" commission. Here he accepts that AMNESTY for murderers would be part of that. It seems to me that Government is trying to find a way to impose this Orwellian construct despite the wishes of the people here in Northern Ireland. What is required is not some third rate "Truth" commission in which every terrorist apologist imaginable will drag their litany of lies and half-truths. No, what we need is justice. Mr Orde should be pursuing all the terrorists still at large, instead this wretched Chief Constable indulges his political agenda care of the ever-friendly and obliging media. Stick to policing, Mr. Order, your conviction rates are so low that they cannot be discerned.
