Chris Bray probes deeper into the sleazy PSNI behaviour in respect of Boston College interviewee, Winston Rea. Chris Bray is a US historian and blogger who has written extensively on Boston College's archive known as the Belfast Project.   


The otherwordly quality of the PSNI's new "investigation" into Winston "Winkie" Rea is captured neatly this week in a sentence from this RTE story: "An international request for the tapes said police have information that Rea was a member of the Red Hand Commando whose interviews would assist investigations into those crimes."

Chris Bray on his blog takes a critical look at the latest machinations of the British police in respect of the Boston College archive.

Authorities in Northern Ireland have asked the U.S. government to subpoena new materials from the Belfast Project collection at Boston College, and at least one new subpoena has been served and executed. Late last week, a court in Belfast issued a preliminary injunction forbidding the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Public Prosecution Service from traveling to the U.S. to collect the newly subpoenaed material from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston.
