Irish Govt looks the other way on kidnap and torture.

In the phony war on terror, thousands of people have been taken prisoner and tortured with no evidence, charges or trial.
The arrests make good PR for Bush, the admissions of error are 'less newsworthy'.
Even before we set up the peace camp at Shannon we suspected that the US Government would use Shannon airport to transport its captives to Guantanamo Bay.
After a lot of digging, and some luck, we now have a lot more than suspicion, and YOU have to help us to hold the Irish govt to account for this. a watered down version of this appeared on p6 of the Sunday Business Post today... I was expecting a bit more bite.. so here's a bit more of what's being hidden.

There is no limit to what the Irish Government will let Bush and Co, do when it comes to war and torture.
Use our airports for troops? Sure thing boss!
Use our airports for military aircrfaft and explosives? Ah, shur go on, we'll tell the gullible public that nothing odd is happening... they trust us...
(Sure we never told ANYONE in Ireland that experts in the Irish Dept of Foreign Affairs told us 6 months before the war that Blair's Dossier was a load of rubbish. )

What else George?
You wanna use our airports so you can capture lots of people with no evidence, blindfold and torture them...?
mmm... okay, but we're gonna look the other way.

WELL NOT EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY LOOKS THE OTHER WAY...
