“For too long, the purpose and effect of national security in legacy cases has been to withhold information about killings, collusion and other grave human rights violations”

How British state secrecy just got worse

The UK government must not use a new Supreme Court judgment as a blank cheque to conceal state wrongdoing

The Good Friday Agreement #GFA, signed in 1998, ended most of the violence of #TheTroubles.
It called for a commission to review policing in #NorthernIreland. As a consequence, in 2001, the Royal Ulster Constabulary #RUC was reformed and renamed to #PSNI.
Jon Boutcher, the Chief Constable of the PSNI, leads Operation #Kenova, which has spent the last seven years, and £40m, investigating 101 murders and abductions linked to the #British military double-agent known by the code #Stakeknife.

One of the report’s most serious conclusions is that the impunity was discussed at Cabinet level during the conflict and continued until six years after the #IRA ceasefire of 1994 and two years after the Good Friday Agreement.
(Prime Ministers: Margaret #Thatcher, #JohnMajor, Tony #Blair.)

As #BenElton used to say 'bit of #politics '
Part Two:
The #Kenova report:
1) key finding :
A single UK State Asset inside the IRA terrorist organisation was guilty of more killings than he saved lives.

2) As commented by two principal political leaders.

Note: they are commenting on the same report.

Also note: One person here comes across as sincere, professional, and statesmenlike.
