Talk:Tom McFeely

Violation of BLP removed
I will be removing the sub-section titled "Involvement in the Claudy bombing" [sic]" as a transparent violation of WP:BLP. Even ignoring the WP:BLPCRIME issues, the claim that "McFeely has been attributed by a number of sources as having taken part in the botched July 1972 no-warning bombing of the village of Claudy " is 100% unsourced, since it completely misrepresents what both sources actually say; Neither one of those says McFeely is in any way implicated by anyone as having been responsible for Claudy.

 * Tom McFeely: from IRA hunger striker to bankrupt millionaire property developer says "McFeely was not, he says, involved in the 1972 bombing of Claudy, a few miles from his childhood home. Nine people were killed, with no warnings given. "But if I'd been there I would have planted the bombs. It is the reality of war. I only regret I wasn't able to do more."
 * Fintan O’Toole: Sinn Féin casts developer Tom McFeely as a villain and IRA man Tom McFeely as a hero says "Ten years ago, in an interview for the Guardian, Susan McKay asked Tom McFeely how he felt about the Claudy massacre, which was perpetrated just a few miles from his own home. He told her he had not been involved, “but if I’d been there I would have planted the bombs. It is the reality of war. I only regret I wasn’t able to do more.”"
