COMMENTS: Innocent!
From London, both NBC's Jim Maceda and CBS' Mark Phillips covered the British government's apology for the 1972 massacre of Irish Republican civil rights marchers, the day that became known as Bloody Sunday. NBC's Maceda reminded us that the initial British report blamed the victims, falsely finding that the 14 dead had been armed and were shooting at soldiers. CBS' Phillips called the videotape of the outrage "the best recruiting video the IRA ever had." You should check out Phillips' stirring footage of the families celebrating their belated vindication. Innocent, they declared over and over again.
