In this particular case, the issue isn't even decommissioning. It's a
private deal between the UUP and SF, and Trimble claims that SF failed to

do what they promised. SF are saying it wasn't part of the arrangement.
Blair is saying "Wha? I never saw that coming." Ahern is saying "Actually

Tony it was obvious but one doesn't like to speak out of turn."

And finally, Durkan has observed that there needs to be transparency
in the negotiations.

In the sense that we all know what's going on, or that Durkan should have
been involved in the carve-up as well?

Not just him but all the parties, according to Durkan.

Durkan was only too happy to exclude a party with a bigger mandate than SF/IRA
(the DUP). His words ring very hollow.

After tonight's "Hearts And Minds" on BBC, I'll post my conclusion on this
week's fiasco,

This is bad on so many levels. A serious misgiving has been exposed in
Anglo Irish relations. The UUP and SF haven't been communicating as well
as the hyped-up press (probably on briefing from the NIO) had been led
to believe. The totally and completely absurd thing is that the only
people who can deliver all of these people and correct these massive
difficulties are the IRA. It's utterly insane that an unaccountable
paramilitary organization has been given the final say in whether the
process works or not.

Durkan (and Alliance) have been saying it for weeks, but have been
ignored out of hand in both cases.
