	Martin McGuinness: From Guns to Government - smh.com.au
		Martin McGuinness was born in Derry city in 1950, left school at 15, was apprenticed to a butcher, joined the IRA (and for some years was contemporaneously engaged in two branches of the slaughter business).
		McGuinness refused all co-operation with Clarke and Johnston, a journalist couple who are long-time Northern Ireland observers.

	PORTRAIT: MARTIN McGUINNESS
		McGuinness and the IRA do not accept what Conservative backbenchers, the editorial board of the Times, and the British public hold to be self-evidently true, that the British Crown is the legitimate authority in Northern Ireland.
		MARTIN McGuinness was born in 1950 in the Bogside district of Derry into a society condemned by its minority Unionist rulers to failure.
		McGuinness, with his handsome looks and coy, boyish charm, came into his own as an IRA propagandist, giving tours behind the barricades to the world's media and holding daily press conferences where on one occasion he introduced journalists to the sniper who had just shot and killed a British soldier on the city's walls.

		McGuinness said that commerce between Ireland and Northern Ireland is expanding, as the business community realizes the partition of the two countries doesn't make economic sense.

	CAIN: People: Clarke, Liam. and Kathryn, Johnston. (2001) 'Martin McGuinness: From Guns to Government'
		McGuinness summed up his future vision for the IRA in an interview with Emily O’Reilly in The Observer, when she asked him where they went from here: once decommissioning had been resolved; the assembly was up and running and the Good Friday Agreement had been fully implemented.
		McGuinness’ great achievement is to have steered his movement through almost 30 years of largely fruitless violence; to emerge, not defeated as they might otherwise have been, but, with his hand on the tiller, as one of the most powerful forces in Irish politics.
		McGuinness’ great contribution is that he knew, even quite early on, that the war could not, nor should it, go on forever; and that violence in its own right had no role to play.

	Guardian \| Spy says McGuinness did not fire on Bloody Sunday
		A key IRA informer, in hiding for nearly 20 years, will risk his life to tell the Bloody Sunday inquiry that former IRA commander Martin McGuinness did not fire any shots on the day of the fateful civil rights march that ended in the deaths of 14 civilians.
		Last week, after news emerged that he was to give evidence to the inquiry, McGuinness admitted for the first time that he had been second-in-command of the Provisional IRA in the lead up to Bloody Sunday.
		McGuinness should fry for some of the things he has done, but I can't stand by and see an inquiry that is trying its best to get at the truth about the murder of those people on Bloody Sunday be muddied by the Ministry of Defence.

		I believe it’s my job as a politician to prevent it happening and to contribute to a political process which will and I think this is a critically important point, because what this peace process has done over the last number of years, is something that wasn’t done in the previous 20 years.

		Security for McGuinness' visit was tight, with a half-dozen uniformed police officers in attendance and numerous plainclothed officers stationed throughout the center -- ironic for a man who has been arrested twice for membership in the IRA.
