Just because an organization has members/affiliates in a government does not make that organization part of the government.

Its like saying what ever the presidents frat was, is part of the government.

Whenever said members/affiliates are former leaders we're really just splitting hairs. I get your point though, I mistook what he had said as there is no link at all between them. Instead he is saying 'The Irish government never commanded the IRA' which I'd largely agree with.
