38 years later, yes, "Bloody Sunday" was the fault of the troops.

As is usually the case, the facts emerge years after most of the major players are dead and gone.

But hey, who cares, it's like 9/11, ancient history, move on ya' nut...



Bloody Sunday Inquiry: Cameron apologises as Saville says shootings 'unjustified'

David Cameron has apologised for the actions of British soldiers after the Saville Inquiry found that 14 civil rights demonstrators and bystanders were killed without justification.

Describing the actions of soldier as "unjustified and unjustifiable", the Prime Minister told the Commons: "What happened should never ever have happened."

"I am deeply, deeply sorry."

The Bloody Sunday Inquiry report found that all those killed were unarmed and that paratroopers had lost control and opened fire without warning. Some had been trying to flee when they were hit and soldiers had made up false accounts in a bid to cover up their actions, the report found.

A total of 13 unarmed civilians, seven of them teenagers, died in Londonderry when soldiers from 1st Battalion, the Parachute Regiment opened fire during clashes after the banned march was stopped from entering the city centre on January 30 1972. A 14th man died some time later from his injuries.

Yup. This is how it always happens.

An event that many people question. And when they do, they are called kooks, nuts and conspiritors.

Then when it quiets down, it's quietly admitted that it is true and then swept under the rug again for people to go "Well, will you look at that." and then forgotten about as the emotion isn't involved anymore for those spectators.

Gulf of Tonkin, USS Liberty, Kent State, Nurse Nayirah, and too many more to count in the past and present.
