Read all about it A dude who spent years as a Sinn Fein leader was really a British spy. And, again, why is anyone "shocked" the Irish tortured and shot him? After all.... "During its 27-year campaign, the IRA's internal security unit tortured scores of IRA members suspected of passing information to British intelligence. Typical IRA methods included applying electric shocks, and administering cigarette burns. Those who admitted informing had their confessions audiotaped before being shot in the head; their bodies were usually dumped -- naked and with hands tied behind their backs -- on rural roadsides."
