Gerry Adams has spent a night in a cell and today is again being questioned by detectives investigating the 1972 murder of Jean McConville.
The 65-year-old Sinn Fein president denies being involved in the execution of Mrs McConville - who was abducted and killed by the Provisional IRA and secretly buried on a beach in the Republic of Ireland.
At the age of 11 her son Michael McConville watched a gang of masked IRA terrorists smash down the door of his family's West Belfast home and demanded to see his mother.

My Comment: If there is one thing that I have learned about life is that you can never really keep a secret forever .... and if you want to excise your "demons" of the past you will need to acknowledge what you did and ask for atonement. There are a lot of people on both sides in Northern Ireland who are keeping a lot of secrets .... and because of that they are still trapped in the past when they should be living today and looking forward to tomorrow. As to Gerry Adams .... I do not know if he is guilty or not .... but as leader of Sinn Fein he should assume personal responsibility and use his authority and personal influence to bring the people who committed this crime to justice .... but .... for his own reasons .... he has chosen to not do this.
