Remember,
you were a Provo, too

Hey
Anthony,
I don't mean to be nasty about this but when you criticise
the Provos over what they did to Jean McConville in
1972 remember that once upon a time you were also
a Provo.
I don't remember the name of the Loyalist you were
sent to prison for but he was probably as deeply missed
by some loved ones as Jean McConville. And maybe there
were others?
While only you, your conscience and your former comrades
know the full details of what you actually did in
"the war", don't you find it a little hypocritical
to be criticising the Provos for doing something that
you participated in, as one of them, until you saw
the light?
