Here's a link to a picture.
It's a reminder of how normal these things can look, even when involved in nasty oeprations and wars... like the one Mary was opposing directly by her action the same month that this plane came through Shannon.
That plane came through Shannon 18th Jan 2003 (during the time of the peace camp) going to Washington DC, I think it was coming from Kuwait.
It's on my list that I put on Indymedia at the end of January last year. http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=26231
The Swedish reporter mentioned contacted me for help tracking the plane, because he did a google search for the registration and found the report on Indymedia...
Even though it is registered as a private jet, It has military clearance to land at a LOT of US military bases.
But more on this soon...
It's also worth noting this.

Deaglun De Breadun and Liam Reid
"Asked if he knew whether Shannon was beign used to transport prisoners to Guantanamo Bay, he said UN resolution 1546 had said member states should help the coalition forces in Iraq in whatever way they could"
That sure doesn't sound like "No"...
was published in the feenix a few months ago.
On monday this week the Guardian published extracts from Seymour Hersh's book on Donald Rumsfeld's dirty war . Hersh wrote that last year two Al Qaida suspects - Zery and Agiza were transported from Swedish custody to prison in Eygpt where they were tortured at the behest of US special forces.
According to Hersh ,the plane used to fly Zery and Agiza ,a chartered Gulfstream jet ,was tracked by a Swedish reporter Fredrik Lauren . Ireland was one of its stop off points. Another was Guantanamo.
Do Shannon plane spotters know anything more about any of this ?
Keep keeping on, you're doing excellent work! I'm up in court again over my Sept 2002 action at Shannon Airport - this time at Limerick Circuit Court. Please come along October 5th (more details at link below).
