But only by a select few it seems. From the OP's link:

Quote:

Members of the former Labour administration insist it was not a secret policy but political parties in Northern Ireland, other than Sinn Fein, said they either knew nothing of the scheme, or at least the scale of it, until the John Downey affair.

I don't recall it making the press.

Re: Blair to be questioned on 'terror' comfort letters.

"or at least the scale of it" is the key phrase.

Unionist politicians admitting to knowing about it and the scale of it would be political suicide. They have no option but to feign surprise.
