Australian TV Documentary To Claim IRA Turncoats Could Have Prevented Dutch Shootings

He's not confused. For the second time in a week you've started up a deliberately misleading thread. These were not Dutch shootings. They were IRA shootings. There's no mention of turncoats in the articles.

The shootings took place in Holland (note the Tribune brands them a 'Dutch operation') I stated in the opening line of the post that the murders were carried out by the IRA. A turncoat is another word for an informer - i.e. one who is working for the other side.

Really if your comprehension is so bad you should not be a mod. I am embarrassed for you.

It is not SF who are claiming this. It is an Australian investigative journalist who has been talking to British intelligence sources and former agents within the IRA. The information is actually extremely embarrassing to Sinn Féin / PIRA as it claims one out of two top-ranking IRA members was an agent.

But you'd have known that if you'd bothered to read the info provided, wouldn't you?

What I am saying is that SF will learn from this into the future and blame all uncomfortable atrocities on British infiltration. None of their patriotic boys and girls would do such a thing.

The Omaha bomb is death toll is always blamed on the RUC herding victims toward the bomb.

The next time dissidents kill a large group of people they will blame the British.

Well in that case the IRA should save a bit of money and merge their recruitment operations with the British Army's.

the Mumbai attacks were in mumbia, the london tube attacks were in london.these shootings were in Holland so they could be classed as Dutch shootings, ira shootings or shooting of AustralianS. the article says that maybe some of the ira unit were informants, you could also use the word turncoat.do you have a different understanding of the word turncoat?i think you are being particularly pedantic.

He is just being a tit with me again. I have lost all faith in his ability to moderate impartially.

You're 100% right mate! That's the time of pedantry I respect!

I see your point but if we use the official name of every country on these threads then corrections will be everywhere.common usage for Holland is very widespread. you should give this lot a bell too.
