Ben Stone to Schiff: McCarter says he killed Montez on orders from O’Connell.Orders? O’Connell is his IRA superior in the chain of command.McCarter thinks of himself as a soldier,a loyal member of a long-standing army that has been under arms in one form or another since the battle of the Boyne and that was about 300 years ago.You researched this? No, it was spoonfed to me.My Grandmother was Irish.Fahey.She thought it was a holy war.Michael Collins,Robert Emmett-

They’re Nazis with brogues.
