    The IRA's Nemesis - Stella Rimington

    The link below is a speech by Stella Rimington to the Oxonian Society in New York. She speaks about dealing with the IRA and how she sees the "War on Terror" and its associated threats. Quite interesting and funny in spots.

    Of course she is selling a book.

    Edit: Stella Rimington was, of course, the former head of MI5.

    She's quite an authority ( oddly enough ) about russian history, she made a good doc about it not so long ago.
    An interesting fact to come out of it was that Stalin nearly got beaten to death by a group of Irish dockers, because he made a lewd comment about one of their girlfriends ( whilst on a visit to London ) in pre-revolution days but a bystander stepped in and saved him...talk about the 'road to hell is paved with good intentions'!
