#1 Moles in the IRA: feature or bug?

Stakeknife revelations hurt IRA and army__May 17, 2003

After a week of surprises and denials, what now for Freddie Scappaticci?

Like a grisly arm pushing up through the soil of a long-abandoned grave, the name of Freddie Scappaticci sensationally surfaced last week, to widespread dismay and denial from all concerned.
This ageing but still barrel-chested Irish builder living quietly in a west Belfast suburb was melodramatically "outed" in Irish newspapers as Stakeknife - the British army's top informant during the bloodiest days of the IRA's terrorist war.

He stands accused of torturing and killing dozens during his reign over the IRA's own internal security team - called the nutting squad, as a fellow IRA man Eamon Collins once succinctly explained, "because they shoot you through the nut"
