In vivid dreams, he’s tied up by former IRA men like Brian Keenan, surrounded by crowds, reliving the terror of being caught, not the acts he committed. He insists he never dreams of pulling the trigger, suggesting a psychological shield that deflects guilt onto fear of retribution. His haunting reflections, explored in Dr. Aaron Edwards’ new book “Enemies Within,” offer a chilling window into the minds of Troubles-era militants—and raise urgent questions about memory, accountability, and the lasting scars of violence.
