I would say that Mandela has next to no blood on his hands compared to McGuinness.

No point getting like that. I put in the wrong word in my tiredness but you knew exactly what I meant. Although, in saying that internment did function as a type of internship for nationalists.
Mandela has blood on his hands. He created, financed and directed that organization and it's silly to assume that he had no role to play in it's functioning while he was in prison.
