Pat Finucane murder
Discussion
This has the potential to get very messy.
State collusion, what implications does that have I wonder and more importantly, what will be covered up?

Very scary if I'm reading between the lines correctly.

You know, this was a long time ago. Things have moved on alot since 1989 in NI. The RUC would have been standing behind the rioters of the past week in NI instead of observing them from across the road like the PSNI.
What has been released today is a review of existing findings from a previous investigation and look what has come to light. The PM is being asked to carry out a full independent inquiry but is refusing, because in my opinion, and to quote the movie "you can't handle the truth".

Isn't the PSNI's job to uphold the democratic institutions of Northern Ireland and the decisions they take under the democratic process?Or is democracy only supposed to work when it arrives at a conclusion you agree with?

Democracy should always work My point is that things have come along way since 1989 but maybe the water cannons were broke last week yeah? Great use out of them in the summer though.
It's a pretty damning Report, and an adequate appology from Cameron. I not sure there is anything more that can reasonably be expected. Convictions of those involved would be impossible to achieve, I would have thought.
I think it's another relic of the past that should be left to rest now.
State execution is pretty disturbing though, it has to be said.

Disgraceful way for an army to behave - helping people get killed in a war, I mean, who'd have thought it?
They didn't "help", they orchestrated it, at least judging by the BBC coverage, haven't had time to read the report.And Finucane was a civvie.
According to wikipedia:
"Finucane was shot dead at his home in Fortwilliam Drive, north Belfast, by Ken Barrett and another masked man using a Browning Hi-Power 9mm pistol and a .38 revolver respectively. He was hit 14 times.[11] The two gunmen knocked down the front door with a sledgehammer and entered the kitchen where Finucane had been having a Sunday meal with his family; they immediately opened fire and shot him twice, knocking him to the floor. Then while standing over him, the leading gunman fired 12 bullets into his face at close range.[12] His wife Geraldine was slightly wounded in the shooting attack which their three children witnessed as they hid underneath the table"

In 2009 so well after the 'troubles' had been resolved.
At about 21:40 that evening, four off-duty British soldiers of the Royal Engineers walked outside the barracks to receive a pizza delivery from two delivery men.[5][6] As the exchange was taking place, two gunmen in a nearby car (a green Vauxhall Cavalier) opened fire with Romanian AKM automatic rifles.[7] The firing lasted for more than 30 seconds with more than 60 shots being fired.[8] After the initial burst of gunfire, the gunmen walked over to the wounded soldiers and fired again at close range, killing two of them.[5][9] Those killed were Sappers Mark Quinsey from Birmingham and Patrick Azimkar from London.[10][11] The other two soldiers and two deliverymen were wounded.

I don't see the point of your post. There were hundreds of 'sickening' attacks on both sides.
