The IRSP's on-line publication reported the Late Johnny White's remarks without any reference to letters such as below, or even press reports at the time of the launch of the Capt. Kelly Justice Campaign. They did not contact the Civil Rights Veterans network in a bid to provide a degree of balance for their own members and on-line readership.

'White should explain' - letter to Derry Journal - published Friday following press conference of Fri. July 16th - the first anniversary of the demise of Capt. James J. Kelly

White Should Explain

Sir,
I was not at the launch in the City Hotel of the campaign to clear the name of the Irish army officer Captain James Kelly.

However, based on press reports and word of mouth I was more than surprised to learn that Johnny White, IRA O.C. in Derry, made allegations he was offered a �50,000 contract to carry out a number of assassinations of IRA socialists.

I find this difficult to believe since it would have been hard to discover even one volunteer who would have understood what the word socialism stood for. I would ask Johnny if what he said was true why did he withhold this information until now, and why did he not alert A.S.U. * commanders at the time.

It would have been well known to him there were plenty of others who would have undertaken these assassinations for �50,000.

Maybe he would like to explain in detail this very serious allegation to what remains of his former comrades.
