McBride wasn't given amnesty in 1992 by the TRC, but rather by De Klerk in order to allow negotiations to procede. I switched the comments about heroism to reflect that even the coloured community was [and is] divided about McBride. -Grant McKenna 17:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok- the TRC gave McBride amnesty in 2001; I'm just checking for when de Klerk gave him amnesty. Grant McKenna 02:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[1]

[edit] Rather large edit

The whole "EXTRA BIOGRAPHY" section repeated much of the contents of the article, had no wikified headings, and was generally a nuisance. I added what I thought were the necessary pieces of missing information to the main article, and redacted the rest. As the sources were also not under a proper heading, I assumed they were part of the extra information, and deleted them as well. Also changed some wording, modified and added some links. As it is a stub (and I think was before, just a double-stub), I added 3 stub categories. --Storkk 19:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
