Which paramilitary organisation did Long belong to?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:09, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In one of the many anonymous interviews that make up the bulk of The Committee Ulster Resistance is mentioned and McPhilemy later states that he had heard Long was Armagh commander of that group. However at no point does McPhilemy specifically state Ulster Resistance as fact or even his own belief and on page 387 (where I took the list from) he is described only as "Loyalist paramilitary" without any indication of allegiance. Rather than misrepresent the source I went with that as McPhilemy doesn't seem fully convinced about Ulster Resistance due to how he skirts round Long's allegiances.

John Weir is also rather vague in his affidavit regarding Long and just mentions him as being part of Ulster Resistance. He doesn't once indicate which paramilitary organisation he actually belonged to.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:49, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
