Ex-U.S. Envoy Accuses Clinton Of Leaking Secrets To Ira

A former American ambassador to Britain has accused the Clinton administration of having leaked British intelligence on Northern Ireland to the Irish Republican Army.

He also says that the U.S. ambassador to Ireland, Jean Kennedy Smith, is an “ardent IRA apologist” who had to be restrained from meddling in the affairs of the North, which is a part of Britain.

Raymond G.H. Seitz, the U.S. envoy in London from 1991 to 1994, says in a memoir to be published next week that in the winter of 1994, British security became so suspicious of the White House that it began to hold back sensitive information. In January of that year, President Clinton approved the U.S. visa application of Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA’s political wing.
