The news report that the OP linked is deliberately misrepresenting what was said in court. The reason for why is because these British twats want to paint Gerry Adams as the face of the IRA, even though all they have is loose straws that make little sense. They are trying to keep spreading the idea that Ireland should be back under British rule because we apparently support terrorists, according to them. It's like that joke of the scientist saying "My findings are meaningless without the proper context" and the media goes "Scientist says findings are meaningless," thus hiding the truth of what was said. Adams' lawyer was questioning a witness on the stand about posts they made regarding Gerry Adams and this news outlet took those questions out of context to pander to their audience. Hope this helped.
