No no no, I didn't think YOU might be a Paisleyite, it was those Protestant propagandists you cited from Queen's College I was thinking of.

Your house was owned by Bernadette Devlin's uncle? Wow, what are the odds of that? Cool!

Did you hear about the incident involving her and the Dept. of Homeland Security? (Why on earth they chose the vaguely Eurofascistic sounding Homeland Security when naming this department is beyond me. I don't have high hopes for the future of this department)

She was denied entry to the US at O'Hare airport, even though she had been peacefully travelling back and forth for years. I think she has a daughter here. This was in the runup to the war, when Tony Blair was still trying to sell the idea to his people, so maybe the move was a sop to Blair - who knows? But she was certainly no threat.

I haven't read any of Gerry Adams' books yet, but I will get around to it. Don't you think he's been something of an unsung hero? A lot of people don't appreciate what he's accomplished.
