Well, Mr Prior with the greatest of respect, APLA continued its armed struggle until a year later in fact.  The date exactly at which that armed struggle stopped is a matter for debate, some people will say it was December '92, others will say it was January '93, but be that as it may it continued.  It's not to say that PAC weren't part of the negotiations, they were in fact part of the negotiations but they were continuing both the struggle and involved in the negotiations.  If we were to accept what you're arguing at present then every APLA operation cannot be politically justified, and in fact that's not been the finding of the Commission as a whole and that's not been the finding of the Amnesty Committee in general terms in respect of many, many such operations.  I think if we confine ourselves to this matter in isolation, we might run the risk of blurring the issue somewhat, which I think is what is happening here.
