Join the Pit Stop Ploughshares
at Dublin's Four Courts, Nov 19th

On Wednesday Nov. 19th, 2003, U.S. President George Bush visits London and the Pit Stop Ploughshares are back in Dublin's Four Courts for pre-trial arguments in front of their trial judge. George W. Bush finds the time to visit Buckhingham Palace, but has yet to find the time to attend a funeral of any of the 300+ young men and women of the U.S. military he has sent to their deaths in Iraq. He has yet to visit any of the wounded or amputees of this war in any Veteran Hospital in the U.S. The history of war veterans trashed and abandoned by their Governments is a long and cynical one.

92,000 U.S. troops, weapons, & cruise missile components have passed through the civilian Shannon airport this year. Aer Rianta have made 11 million euro in blood money, the Pit Stop Ploughshares have been charged with 2 million euro 'criminal damage.' Some of the young men and women who passed through Shannon have made the return trip from Iraq in body bags. TV images of coffins returning to U.S. Military bases have been banned by the U.S. Government.

The Pit Stop Ploughshares disabling of a U.S. Navy War Plane at Shannon was one of the many acts of nonviolent resistance to this war. These brothers and sisters are on trial and may be imprisoned for their resistance to an illegal and unjust war for oil and expanding the US/UK empire.
