This is the Times article John linked to:
Was Gerry Adams complicit over hunger strikers?
 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/ireland/article6036723.ece

The article and the implied criticism of the IRA leadership is interesting, partly because the deliberate martyring of IRA 'foot-soldiers' was already long mythologised, notably in Behans 1957 'The Patriot Game'. It remains more than simple historical interest since there is still violence in Ireland. The same tactics used against the various IRA by the security services are also now applied to the most peaceful protest groups. Indeed, the bloody Force Research Unit was simply renamed the Joint Support Group and sent to Iraq.

A non-hierarchical site like IM should encourage criticism of any hierarchy, especially a hierarchy that is targetted by UK security services infiltration - which applies to most peaceful British groups. This government release is political manipulation though, because of the documents that have not been released. Where is the documentation of MI5 involvement in the Dublin bombing, or the murders of the innocents in the North? Thatcher is personally complicit in some of these crimes, but she is hardly the first British leader with Irish blood on their hands.

Neil Mackay of the Sunday Herald released a series of exposes of British security services (FRU, MI5) responsibility for murders and bombings, including the bombing of Dublin, a foreign capital and an MI5 officer and his agent firing wildly with handguns at the Bloody Sunday civil rights march. These are important articles that have been widely commented on and copied. However, the Sunday Herald was bought by Gannet, the owners of USAToday, and some of the most important of their own archived articles have been 'disappeared'.

"It's unquestionable fact. He's been identified to our publication as a very senior member of the IRA, there's no doubt about that, nor is there any question that our sources, three intelligence sources, have named him as Stakeknife. This is a story riddled with spin and black propaganda. What you have is a complete and utter mess. Since the moment this story broke it's been lies and obfuscation" - Neil Mackay

If you are searching then sometimes the agent codename is written as 'Steak Knife', there is a lot of articles already in the IM-UK archive on that and related stories.

Come all ye young rebels, and list while I sing,
For the love of one's country is a terrible thing.
It banishes fear with the speed of a flame
And it makes us all part of the patriot game.

My name is O'Hanlon, and I've just turned sixteen.
My home is in Monaghan, where I was weaned.
I learned all my life cruel England to blame,
So now I am part of the patriot game.

This Ireland of ours has too long been half free;
Six counties lie under John Bull's tyranny.
But still De Valera is greatly to blame
For shirking his part in the patriot game.

They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair,
His wounds from the fighting all bloody and bare.
His fine body twisted, all battered and lame;
They soon made me part of the patriot game.

I don't mind a bit if I shoot down police
They are lackeys for war, never guardians of peace
And yet at deserters I'm never let aim
The rebels who sold out the patriot game.

It's nearly two years since I wandered away
With the local battalion of the bold IRA,
I've read of our heroes, and I wanted the same,
To play out my part in the patriot game.

And now as I lie here, my body all holes,
I think of those traitors who bargained in souls
And I wish that my rifle had given the same
To those quislings who sold out the patriot game.
