[edit] POV wording

"colleagues of those who had brutalised and tortured him for three-and-a-half years" is blatantly POV as included in this article unless it can be supported by a reputable source. The linked page is of an article "Published in IRIS, Vol. 1, No. 2, November 1981. IRIS was a publication of the Sinn Fein Foreign Affairs Bureau."; definitely not impartial. The wording could be included if it was identified as being the opinion of Sinn Fein but otherwise it's just POV pushing and bad writing. FWIW, I came upon this page through Special:Random.

I was bold and then my edit was completely reverted even though I had done useful fixing of the references. So I am talking about it here as it seems the other user does this a lot. Kellen ^T 09:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I support Kellen's edit. Vague claims by non-neutral sources cannot be presented as fact Weggie 10:08, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
