[edit] Sources

The sources in the Maze Escape section do not back up the assertion that McElwaine was interrogated by the SAS before his death. The An Phlobacht source is not considered reliable for information of this kind (and does not assert this fact anyway, instead stating that he was "executed") and the other source doesn't even mention him (at least thats what my Mozilla search says, if its wrong please point out where he is discussed). Please can somebody address this issue.--Jackyd101 11:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

It's mentioned briefly in Big Boys' Rules, page 219. Lynch claims the SAS interrogated McElwaine for 30 minutes before "finishing him off", but the book clearly states the allegations can't be independently corroborated and that as of mid '91 no inquest had taken place so it's not possible to say if that was feasible or not.
