>>He found these men useful, and use them he did. ...Would you even shake hands with -- let alone serve on two boards with -- an unrepentant terrorist, whether he bombed U.S. military installations or abortion clinics? Well, personally, no, I'd rather see all terrorist rot and die, ideally in pain and misery. However I do understand that other people have shaken hands with Gerry Adams, while making peace in Ulster.<< TS - I would draw a distinction between a so-called terrorist who destroyed property but endeavored not to kill anyone, no matter what their physical targets might have been, and one who killed innocent people intentionally.
