There is certainly a double standard at play.
..... and not focus my attention on the dog alone.
I agree, but unfortunately debate tends to turn into "whataboutery", so someone says "Internment was awful..", someone else says "What about car bombs...", gerrymandering .... RUC.... ethnic cleansing... etc etc
One thing I always found odd was that SF/IRA always maintained it was involved in a war and so had no problem with blowing up soldiers (&civilians) or shooting them at long range with a snipers rifle. However when, for instance, IRA members get killed in Loughall while armed and in action, its all whingeing about "shoot to kill". Seems to me the IRA were bombing and shooting to kill. Its either a war or its not. [p.s. I'm not saying its right for government forces to shoot to kill (unless under threat themselves), but if its to be the rules of engagement of a "war" (as insisted by IRA) then isnt shooting enemy soldiers a standard outcome?]
