The Labour Party will use its private members time in the Seanad this week to facilitate debate on a cross party motion proposing the appointment of a Select Committee of Senators to examine and report back on claims that U.S. aircraft landing at Irish airports have been involved in the so-called extraordinary rendition of prisoners. The text of the motion is exactly the same as that earlier agreed by an informal all party committee of Senators that included the Leader of the Seanad, Mary O’Rourke and P.D. Whip, John Minahan. The government parties later withdrew their support for the motion. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2This would'nt be the same Labour Party that is shares membership of the Party of European Socialists with the British Labour Party which is actively involved as the governing party and main ally of US imperialism in the secret transport of victims of 'extraordinary rendition'? Or the same Labour Party which shares membership of of the so-called 'Socialist International' with the vile ruling party of Egypt, the end destination of many of the same unfortunate victims?
Any chance of the Labour Party raising this issue with their international 'comrades' who are directly complicit in the 'extraordinary rendition'/torture process? Not likely since they have never raised this or any other matter related to the imperialist attack on Iraq with Blair and his supine lackeys.
It's good that this issue has not gone away.
When there is no other way of getting the information of what's going on in Shannon, when the answers come pat and poker-faced and still woefully incomplete, we know that something big is amiss.
Let these Senators have our support. They may be able to uncover the lies that are hidden in the half-truths.
And force those other Senators who don't want the facts to come out to show themselves up actively opposing freedom of information and trying to strangle truth.
It's time to exorcise the doppelganger of Taoiseach/Uachtarán/Commander-in-Chief/ Commissioner Seoirse W Bush from the Dáil and Seanad and let our own people do their job
