MR RICHARD
This particular witness and applicant is the one who was the Commander of the unit in which Mr McBride served, and it is he who accepted Mr McBride's say so, that it was a legitimate target.   Now, if Mr McBride had a thorough understanding of the political objectives of the armed struggle, and was compliant and supported thereof, and had applied his mind to it, the consequences of bombing a civilian target, must have been well know, that is the purpose and relevance of this line of questioning.  Does this witness accept that or not and having said that, I may ask the question, do you accept what I have just said as a summary?
