/// Former MP Peter Hain, who was Secretary of State for Northern Ireland between 2005 and 2007, previously stated that he believes the British troops involved in the killings should be given an amnesty from prosecution as terrorists have been. ///
Totally agree with Peter Hain, why should some mass killers get off, yet some of our now elderly ex-troops face this probe, and possible prison sentence?

But in relation to AOG's question, he is suggesting I think that the case of Bloody Sunday should be dropped because some other suspects have received an "amnesty from prosecution". I see no evidence that that is the case, and even if it were, it only applies to "some", for reasons which are unclear.
The question really should be: is a "special case" being made of Bloody Sunday because of its high profile and because comparatively few British soldiers were ever prosecuted, rightly or wrongly, for anything.

The one and probably only time I will ever concur wholeheartedly with Peter Hain.
This whole saga has gone way beyond what was expected, apologies have been made and it's time now to leave it be and stop wasting taxpayers money, unless of course PIRA and INLA wish to reciprocate with their own apology for indiscriminate murder and maiming?
