TRUE CONFESSIONS. I was listening to the news headlines on BBC Radio 5 live this morning and caught the surreal headline that "Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister and former IRA commander Martin McGuinness is visiting Iraq on a peace mission." Three thoughts;

Why does the BBC not enquire when Mr McGuinness LEFT the IRA?

Why does the BBC not enquire what atrocities the IRA committed when McGuinness was directly involved in commanding terrorism?"

Why does the BBC choose at times to highlight the terrorist pedigree f McGuinness and then at other times to demurely cover this up?>

It seems to me that the BBC gets a kick out of fawning of terrorists, be they Islamic or Irish.
