Ah, Marie Howe. If I tried to make films of a prison housing terrorists in a
nation which has experienced a couple of thousand-plus deaths related to
insurgency I'd expect difficulties. Yes, they mistreated her. Yes, she was
begging for trouble. Maybe when the police and soldiers treated her with
skepticism they had heard about the last time she was arrested, back home;
on that occasion she tried to give the cops a false name.

Ulster Protestants have made a lot of protests about "Loyalist prisoners"
lately. Could Mr McGhee explain who these prisoners are? How do he and 
Marie Howe feel about them?
