The Intelligence War that Beat the IRA
'Secret Victory reveals how the IRA was infiltrated, degraded and strategically defeated' - Doug Beattie

"Let's face it, if someone was to bring down the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in Manhattan it would be a severe blow to American prestige." IRA statement after spectacular terrorist attack in London before 2001. Thoughts and prayers for victims of 9/11.

"The West failed in Iraq and is destined to fail in Afghanistan ... places like Helmand where much British and American blood was spilt in hard-fighting against the Taliban have been cheaply handed back to the Taliban." Page 262. And that analysis was 6-years ago.

Van the man. Love you to bits. But really!

@BBCTalkback Mirror Police Ombudsman's approach and we could compel people in a new law to commemorate it.

'Street Safe Thinking' may just save the life of someone you love. Highly recommended.

When you are so far off side, you look on side, and used to not being whistled up for it. https://t.co/0etS4R3SLw

This image of Michelle O'Neill today (posted by Lucan SF) is breathtaking in its smiling disregard for what she tells us to do to save lives. Yesterday she said mourners "should observe the public health advice". How is this any different to Dominic Cummings' eyesight expedition?

[Secret Victory @SecretVictoryNI]

Well done the Orange Order @mervgib for showing that peoples lives matter and not changing tack on parades and bonfires until this Covid beast truly passes.

BBC Radio Ulster, "several" Sinn Fein figures at funeral? Michelle, Martina, Mary Lou, Connor, Gerry, Pearse ... Also, "loyalist funerals"? There was none. Equivocation for sake of it. God forbid the political and justice privileges unique to republican movement are highlighted.

With England, Scotland & the south all making the move to mandatory face coverings on public transport, there is growing evidence of its wider benefits. With clear exemptions, face coverings help keep other passengers safe especially as we reopen more of our economy & society.

The new Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD has criticised Sinn Fein with a regularity and ferocity that @LeoVaradkar and @simoncoveney certainly did not. The Fine Gael outlook of John Bruton is a distant memory https://t.co/UOENaBOzyq

@vincekearney @PoliceServiceNI Sadly @vincekearney the legacy of the past is filled with armchair detectives and conspiracy theorists with absolutely no policing experience or expertise and for whom evidence and hard facts are strangers.
