IRA ending longtime "Armed Campaign"

So the "Boys of the Old Brigade" are finally packing it in. What's next for the Provos?

Incidentally, I note how the writer of this story snidely refers to the IRA as an outlaw gang, as though they were Hell's Angels or Bloods or Crips or something...

2. The media has to treat the IRA that way

Otherwise, they believe it would be "legitimizing terror", never mind the fact that the US took them off the list of terrorist organizations several years ago...:eyes:

An interesting article on the way media treats Northern Ireland here:
