Each of the other 4 million or so Irish people should do what their conscience dictates, and what their circumstances allows. Whatever you do, don’t do nothing. One Million dead in Iraq with active Irish complicity at Shannon airport demands that we all take whatever actions we can to achieve some molecule of justice for these crimes against humanity.
The next six months is going to be or critical importance if we are to be successful in challenging the evils perpetrated in our name, and to ensure that it can never happen again.
Much greater support is needed for the monthly vigils at Shannon at 2 pm on the second Sunday of each month, that is:
10 May, 14 June, 12 July, 9 August, 13 September, 11 October, 8 November and 13 December.

Well done Edward and the very best of luck,pity there are not a few more Edward Horgans in this Bananna Republic.

When the last US Foregin Direct Investment job leaves Ireland for the Far East, then the Government will do something about our so called 'Neutral' status.
Maybe we should start a rumour that WMD's are being stored in the basement of Leinster House. The US will invade and overthrow the Government, not a bad idea :)
Same routine,different county:

As always, congratulations to everyone who made it down to Shannon. The dirty business of allowing Shannon to be used as merely another staging post for US colonial policy has dropped off the agenda in Irish politics of late. This is a pity, of course, and it is left up to a few stalwarts to keep it somehow in the public eye. Now that the Irish army are deployed to guard US Military aircraft our complicity in the illegal Iraq war becomes concrete. It may be even harder to arouse interest now that people are more interested in how to cope with the loss of their second homes! In any case, Shannon should not be allowed to vanish as an issue.
The Irish government has a duty under the UN Convention Against Torture not to facilitate such breaches of international law but refuses to take any actions to ensure that Shannon airport is not being used for such purposes.
Of course they have,have they implemented it No they have not, one wonders why.
Do they care,obviously they dont,but they should, they have got complacent, and probably feel that they are above the Law, but times are changing.
The link makes very interesting reading,although not directly connected to Shannon but these people also thought they were untouchable.
Well done to Edward and Co. at Shannon.
Please note, this US warplane Hercules C 130 number 5348 is the same one that was also photographed at Shannon on 28 February 2009. Its mission could be anything from ferrying special troops, or munitions, or other war materials to the war zones, or in recent times, possibly ferrying prisoners from Guantanamo back to their coutries of origin. Many of these prisoners are likley to be tortured or even executed if they are sent back to certain coutries such as Jordan, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia.
