As the Irish Republican Army's Belfast Brigades Officer commanding at the time of the awful abduction and subsequent murder of Mrs Mconville, its almost certain Mr Adams has a huge case to answer.
English and British people have never quite reconciled Mr Adams shadowy past between 1972-1975 and preferred instead to concentrate on the political leader they could do business with either in secret or latterly in public.
If anyone is interested in this period of Irish history I strongly recommend the book "The Armed Struggle:The History of the Irish Republican Army" by Professor Richard English.
It is balanced,fair,thoughtful,incredibly concise and detailed and deserves all the accolades it has received as the definitive deconstruction of the political struggle in Northern Ireland/North of Ireland.

We should be taking the same line as happened in South Africa under Mandella, truth and reconciliation,.

He cant be let off with anything Dub he has not been charged or found guilty of anything yet, But Mandela Realised that for things to move on In South Africa there had to be a process that recognised the crimes of the past and that admissions had to be made so maybe thats whats needed In The north of Ireland.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

so if evidence is ever found to convict those responsible for this, do we just not charge them and move on?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Northern Ireland loyalist shootings: one night of carnage, 18 years of silence | UK news | The Guardian
or if any of the NI Police, and British Government officials, were ever found to have sanctioned killings like this, do we just say "aye OK it was in the past, lets move on"
Northern Ireland’s police ‘colluded with loyalists to cover up Catholic murders’ - Crime - UK - The Independent
I just cant agree with the mindset that we "just move on". People have to held accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to murder. If there is evidence that Adams was responsible for, or involved in any way with, the McConville kidnap and murder then he should be tried for it.
Okay then, are you suggesting that the allegation against him re Jean McConville shouldnt be investigated or that it should be investigated and if he is found guilty he should be let off? If so then I totally disagree with you.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Pity the murdering $#@! that committed the crime [whoever he or she may be] wasn't of the same mindset.

Happythankyoumoreplease.
Truth and reconciliation would require someone to admit to this insanely brutal murder,somehow I cannae see that happening.
Surely part of being British is that we protect our people with the power of our military and our laws. If found guilty he should rot in jail.
It's an impossible situation. To many this was a war. And to many it wasn't. Depending on your point of view in that respect prejudices all your views on all of this.
Depending on the viewpoint it's either a common murder or a war crime. If Adams was involved he should stand trial but I wouldn't put money on a conviction.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Depends on your point of view. In a battle between say the YBT and the Bar-Ox each one on either side might consider it to be a war of sorts. If someone dies during the battle you can bet your house that the polis will find, try and convict the murderer. This situation is no different really except in scale and the fact that the lady in question wasnt even involved in the battle. Someone killed that poor woman and they should pay for that.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's a matter of perspective right enough.

If British soldiers during the Iraqi war had kidnapped a woman, tortured her, hid her body and kept its burial secret for 30 years because a rumour was floating about that she was passing information on to the opposition, you can be sure they would be convicted, or at least stand trial, for an act of war crime.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.
