I
refer to Mr O Ruairc's recent article about the book,
"Black Operations."
He
states, "However to be fair the book is not as
bad as one would expect from journalists from the
Irish Star and a forward from Victor Baker."
Perhaps
he would at least do me the courtesy of spelling my
name correctly "Victor Barker" and secondly
explaining why he feels my "forward" was
expected to be so "bad". [Editor's note:
The spelling error was missed in the editing and has
since been corrected.]
I
have written a fair and balanced account of my own
experience,and the murder of my 12 year old son James.
Would
Mr O Ruairc like to meet with me to discuss his views
further?
No
one (no matter what their relgious or political beliefs)
has the right to kill innocent human beings in pursuit
of their own ends and to use terrorism and intimidation
to further their cause. It is time that the REAL IRA
faced up to the enormous toll of human suffering that
their evil deeds caused to the bereaved and injured
on the 15th August 1998 and to seek the forgiveness
of those who they have so deeply wronged.
To
show how much I care about all human life I intend
to run the London Marathon this year and to give one
half of the funds I raise to the families of Victims
of Republican Terrorist and Loyalist Terrorist Violence
and one half to the PSNI benevolent fund.
Would
Mr O Ruairc care to join me?
