If any evidence of a plot to blow up something by the IRA was uncovered, or any intelligence is discovered by us, I'd be willing to bet that the CIA/FBI would pass it along to the proper authorities in the proper country. Most agencies make an effort to cooperate with each other when lives are at stake. They use things such as Interpol, and they share liason personnell with each other. It's sort of like a "cross pollination" process.

So let me get this strait. We should invade Iraq because of terror links to the PLO and the Palistinean cause. Because these are the ONLY terror links that Iraq ahs been shown to have. Yet at the same time you claim that the IRA is different because "The IRA hasn't sworn itself to defeat or exterminate America nor has it taken any action against Americans" Both the IRA and PLO are local terrorist organizations with specific causes.
That is called talking out of both sides of your mouth.
