 no surprise to anti-war movement PHOTO OPPORTUNITY: Anti-war activists will be holding a vigil at O Connell bridge today at 5.30pm for the victims of New Orleans and Iraq. They will be holding a banner reading "Sept. 24th Shannon: Gateway to Iraq" which is highlighting Ireland's complicity with Bush's war on Iraq. The report in today's Irish Times that US military and CIA aircraft landing at Shannon are to be monitored by the UN for illegal detainees comes as no surprise to the Irish Anti-War Movement. Shannon Airport has been used as one of the key stop-off points in Europe for the US military and CIA in the war on Iraq and for the transport of suspect 'terrorist' prisoners. Officially over 150,000 US troops passed through Shannon in the first six months of this year. It is time the government respected the wishes of the majority of people in Ireland and stopped the use of Shannon by US military. The Irish Anti-War Movement is holding a peace festival against Ireland's complicity with the war on Iraq on Saturday September 24th in Shannon. That will be an opportunity to say to Bertie Ahern: not one more Iraqi must be killed in our name. End the use of Shannon by the US war machine immediately. |
