From what I've read, and heard, in the media over the past couple of days there seems to almost be a witch-hunt in relation to McGuinness and his conversion from terrorist to law abiding politician.
I'm not suggesting that the facts bandied about surrounding it are incorrect - I have no idea what went on in those days in NI & the ROI - but a bit of me says why wait till now, when he's dead?
If I'm honest, I find a lot of what's being said by some ex ministers and politicians a bit hypocritical. The British government probably has as much "blood on its hands" in relation to the troubles in NI as any one individual from the other side. Unfortunately, due to censorship and the official secrets act it'll be a generation or so before anyone finds out what really went on in those dark days.
