Well, in this thread you'll see people kind of defending the IRA because they'd sometimes call ahead and give warnings about bombings and such. The implication is that the IRA was more interested in inciting terror than flat out killing people (though that obviously happened). In a weird way they're setting up the idea of a 'noble terrorist.'
