Re. my post here last night ' Brian Keenan ' , which I deleted this morning , I must point out that I was confusing two Brian Keenan's , the former IRA quartermaster who died this week , who was born in 1942 , and the , also Irish Brian Keenan , born in 1951 , who wrote 'An Evil Cradling' about his four and a half year ordeal in Beirut from 1985 , where he was teaching , before being kidnapped and treated appallingly by Islamic Extremists .
I think that the thankfully still very much with us BK , who does indeed come across as warmhearted , tactile , approachable and wise , may coincidentally have had some Irish Republican sympathies , but which is a long way removed from being an active , ruthless , unrepentant IRA member , which he certainly never has been .
I think , though I could be wrong that I'm the only person in the universe with my ( first and last ) name ; Have you ever been misidentifiable between yourself and another person sharing your name ?
