‘Disappeared’ was just disappointing

I watched The Disappeared on RTÉ. I expected major information about those who are missing or those whose bodies have been recovered. But, alas, that was not the case.

There was a Jerry Springer aspect to what was a mini show trial to find someone guilty. Presenter Darragh McIntyre did not explain the horrific nature of the times that were.

It was war: shootings and bombings were a 24-hour occurrence. British intelligence used and abused agents, like Freddie Scapaticci and Denis Donaldson, to carry out legalised murder. Agents spread false stories through the Republican grapevine to point fingers of suspicion, resulting in the deaths of innocent people.
