[edit] Problems with this article

1) It isn't just republicans who call Derry that. The SDLP don't call it Londonderry either.

2) McGlinchey left the INLA before he was murdered. He remained a member of the IRSP however.

3) The Droppin Well bomb's victims weren't all RUC and civilians. British Army members were killed as well.

4) This article should emphasize McGlinchey's decision to put the INLA under "direct military rule," which worked for a time but eventually helped tear the movement apart. For instance it helped turn Harry Kirkpatrick supergrass.

[edit] Sources?

I'm quite concerned about this article and what information it is based on. It's virtually a carbon-copy of this [1] site. While I'm sure the information is factually correct it is a breach of copyright to make a direct copy of protected material.GiollaUidir 22:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SAS assassination

I'm well aware that the whole 'shoot to kill' story is controversial: others should be aware as well. It is *not* a 'fact' that the SAS 'decided' to kill him, but an allegation. The fact that the allegation has been made is worth noting, but it shouldn't be given without qualification.

Personally, i don't really care what the article says: any republican reading this will 'know' this is true just from seeing the allegation, while anyone else would discount it as obvious POV. But for the sake of Wiki (cough), disputed 'facts' should really be distinct from the undisputed.

Please don't revert again - then it'll just go into the POV bureaucratic wikihole... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bge20 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
