		All the circumstances in the case of Roger Casement were carefully and repeatedly considered by the Government before the decision was reached not to interfere with the sentence of the law.
		The suggestion that Casement left Germany for the purpose of trying to stop the Irish rising was not raised at the trial, and is conclusively disproved not only by the facts there disclosed, but by further evidence which has since become available.
		Casement’s demeanour since his arrest, and throughout and since the trial, gave no ground for any such defence, and indeed was sufficient to disprove it.

		Contrary to what it says in the Giles Report and the TV documentaries, the crucial section of the White Diary written when Casement had a bandage covering one eye and an infection spreading to the other eye, leaving him partially blind, was not examined.

		There is in the best type of Irishman—and Casement bad it in supreme degree—a certain noble romanticism, a sense of the drama of the fight of good against evil, which supports him with a sense of the dramatic even if he stands single-handed against the world.
		I shall have something to say later on about Casement’s death—I was within 50 yards of him in the Pentonville Hospital when lie was hanged—and the strong sense I got then that this sense of something greater, this ecstasy or standing outside himself, supported Casement in death.
		Naturally enough the report was not favourably received at the Belgian Court, and a determined effort was made to discredit Casement, even time Irish-Americans joining in the attack.

		Horan, a leading expert on the forensic examination of questioned documents, insists that the Giles report would not be acceptable to the American courts and demonstrates forensic flaws in the authentication process.

		Casement seethed when Leopold’s apologists issued general denials which he was unable to defend with specifics.

		Reports of systematic torture, an orgy of sadism, the perverted mutilation of men, women, and children, women being kept as concubines by the Indian and Barbadian muchachos or captains, of the rubber gangs, reached Roger Casement, who had exposed similar atrocities ten years earlier in the Congo.
		By the time Casement got there, three-quarters of the population on the Putumayo had been wiped out in the previous six years, and there were only 8000-1000 left.
		Casement was knighted for being main author of the l912 Blue Book on the Putumayo, a precursor of today’s reports on human rights abuses, but later his journals revealed that he was a pedophile and had participated in the muchachos’ orgies.

Morel, one of Britain’s most powerful pamphleteers and effective social reformers, and described in horrific detail the burning of villages, the severed hands and the kiboko (hippo-hide) lashings administered under the regime of King Leopold’s Congo Free State.
		Estimates of the death toll under Leopold’s regime range from the 3 million of Roger Casement’s 1904 report to the 10 million (half the original population) of Adam Hochschild’s Leopold’s Ghost.
