who knows someone...and that's why he should be on the list?

Fer crying out loud. Do you know anything about what's going on over there? The whole thing is appx. 5,000 miles in size. Adams lives and works in West Belfast. Sinn Fein headquarters has a cage and camera set up at the front door...something about it being targeted in the past.

You can't walk a block without meeting someone who was physically touched by the Troubles. And the Real IRA's "most high profile member is Bernadette Sands-McKevitt, the sister of the late hunger striker Bobby Sands." (link) So...ummm...duh...no doubt he's met her at at least one demostration since Bobby's hunger strike.

Several years ago, I had dinner with a friend and some of the folks she knew from work. At that dinner, I met Pat Finucane's brother.
