I don't get it. How is letting a murderer go free helping reconciliation. Orders or not, you know when what you're doing is wrong.

I think its helped stop things ending up in a full scale civil war to a degree. This guy and the likes of de blance could have been killed and no one would have been concerned but then perhaps it creates more just like them.

It must be hard for the families of the victims but things like the truth and reconciliation commision and to a lesser degree the historical enquiries team in Ireland help provide some answers to the families.They may have caught the 'trigger man' but who gave the orders? what else did they do? without a degree of leniency, without making impossibly hard choices like letting murderers free the truth would never come out. Without a openness about what went on it would be impossible to move forward

"Wrong" is relative and just an opinion.

When it's your job to kill people, it's a different story than if you were a serial killer.

Every soldier who's been in combat is a murderer and is wrong, no matter what side of the line they're standing on - if you think about it in your terms.

He was hired to get rid of people to "protect" the people who hired him. Weather it's their lives or interests.

He was doing his job.
