Um, why? They are far from innocents. Most were members of the IRA who got caught & flipped. Whether it's a crime or an act of heroism very much depends on which side of the fence you are on. Illegal or not, IRA were a military organisation. If someone flipped & gave information which cost volunteer lives are gutter rats. Same goes for agents who flip for 'legal' armies. Treachery is treachery in any language. Because an organisation is deemed illegal, it doesn't make the cause bad. The term & staus of Illegal is given by the people writing the law, who in turn may have unpure interests.
