TWELVE SPIES OUTED

Failed politician and 10 years behind the times journalist.

Even Barney Rowan is beginning to realise what has been going on. Another predictable revelation about an IRA/MI5 agent being exposed. Mr Rowan should do some research into the "thesis, antithesis and synthesis" philosophy in his persuit to establish just what has been going on in N.Ireland over the past 30 or 40 years.

Reliable spies are very hard to find. Out of 12 only 2 were honourable on this occasion. All 12 spies brought back accurate information, 10 of them failed to analyse the information in the correct manner. They thought their enemies were greater than God. It brought disaster to a whole generation.
