"The treatment of Ann Travers is disgraceful - the killing of her innocent sister was murder. Standing up for the innocence of victims and the integrity of history is not being stuck in the past; it is a moral imperative. @AnnTravers6 @squinteratn But it wasn't murder was it The ASU that set out that day wanted to kill your father. They didnt deliberately set out to kill your sister. I lost relatives as a result of an IRA OP that went wrong but it wasn't murder. I can never understand your lose & grief but murder No. @AnnTravers6 @squinteratn But it wasn't murder was it The ASU that set out"

Rustya massive arthritic Golden Retriever with milky eyes and a slow aching gaitlooked like grief made flesh. I couldnt bring a ninety-pound dog into my spotless no-pets-allowed condo in downtown Seattle. I had a flight to catch. Meetings to attend. A life waiting for me.
