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?
