Ed Moloney, today on Wbai, NYC, denounced a smear by Niall O'Dowd, in the Smurfit-subsidized Irish Voice. O'Dowd claims that in a forthcoming book, Moloney asserts that Gerry Adams cooperated with the British to botch IRA operations and thus pave the way for the peace process. Moloney said that O'Dowd does not have the courage to publish the allegation in Ireland because he knows its libellous. Moloney also said that Sinn Fein's Rita O'Hare, in Nyc, denounces Moloney as an unreconstructed Provo, while in Belfast, Sinn Fein claims that Moloney is a stooge of MI5. O'Dowd, served as liaison between Adams and the U.S. Commander in Chief, Clinton, in the days leading up to the Ira's ceasefire.
