Keepers, this could be interesting
Of course, we don't know what he's been arrested for; it might 'just' be obstruction or somesuch. However I suspect the PSNI didn't do it without some very high-up authorisation.

He seems to be a decent family man now.
But during the troubles I'm sure he had his fingers in ALL of the dirty pies available out there. He doesn't come across as the type who would pull any triggers himself, but that doesn't expunge him from organising killings, or whipping people into frenzies.
But like Max Clifford, it's in the past now so we should just forget about it.

Decent family man?
So not like his brother then. (obligatory paedo reference).

I didn't like him as much since he started speaking with his own voice.

I remember Simon Schemer's history of the battle of the Boyne
a battle he commented 'No one won.'

While we're at it
Can we ask Martin McGuinness where he was on Bloody Sunday?

Now he's a man who would have some interesting tales to tell
Adams seems like the sort of guy who although a thoroughly nasty piece of work, would be smart enough to have not got his hands dirty. McGuinness on the other hand seems like he was at the coalface for most of it.

Interesting, but not really at all helpful.
As the Savile inquiry put it, "we are sure that he did not engage in any activity that provided any of the soldiers with any justification for opening fire."
So he was probably there and was probably carrying a sub-machine gun, and may have fired that weapon, but the Savile inquiry is pretty adamant in its findings that he did not engage in any activity giving justification for opening fire.
Of course, it might be suggested there are plenty of events other than Bloody Sunday which might warrant closer attention, but I am of the view that he has been rather more useful to the British government than either side publicly admits.

Jimmy Savile was trusted with investigating the actions of the IRA?!
