	Guardian \| Ulster Freedom Fighters - the thugs in hoods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Ulster Freedom Fighters can trace their origins back to the early 1970s, when Northern Ireland was tumbling into the abyss of tribal warfare.
		By that time the initials UFF had started to appear on the graffiti-laden walls of Belfast, and in the bombastic communiques admitting killing and maiming Catholics.
		The UFF was proscribed in the late 1970s, though the UDA remained a legal organisation until as late as 1992.

		The original UVF was formed from the unification of all Ulster Protestant militias in order to oppose the grant of an autonomous government to Ireland in which Protestants would have formed a minority.

	Does Freedom Prevent Terrorism?
		Freedom is a good thing, democracy is a good thing, and putting an end to terrorism would also be a good thing.
		Colombia, the country with the longest record for freedom and democracy in South America, also holds the record for the largest, longest-running terrorist organization, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
		If anything, freedom promotes or at least enables the growth of violent partisan groups, because it provides an opportunity for extremists to organize and proselytize.

		In this case, however, the "family" is Northern Ireland's biggest loyalist terror organisation, the Ulster Defence Association/Ulster Freedom Fighters, and the miscreant the teenage son of its most notorious commander, Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair.
		He was taken to hospital, but discharged himself two hours later and, dosed with painkillers, returned to the house he shares with his parents, Johnny and Gina, his two younger sisters, and three-year-old brother, Jay, whom his father has affectionately dubbed "Mad Pup".
		No one in the neighbourhood, where UFF murals adorn every gable wall, and red, white and blue flags festoon every lamppost, has the slightest doubt that the attack was carried out by members of Adair's own "C" company battalion, or that Adair himself knew of and consented to the shooting.
