News of the ill-treatment of prisoners in Iraq created no great
surprise in republican Ireland. We have seen and heard it all
before. Some of us have even survived that type of treatment.
Suggestions that the brutality in Iraq was meted out by a few
miscreants aren’t even seriously entertained here. We have seen
and heard all that before as well. But our experience is that,
while individuals may bring a particular impact to their work,
they do so within interrogative practices authorised by their
superiors.
