The real culprit

PAUL Murphy and Brian Cowen are pointing the finger of blame at all the parties associated with good governance in Northern Ireland, instead of squaring up to the real culprit — the Provos.

The intimidation of members of the police, the rejection of the international body to oversee the Good Friday Agreement and Sinn Fein’s brazen refusal to put clear blue water between itself and its delinquent past speak volumes for its real intent. And that intent is malign.
