Robert Fisk on US Planes in Shannon

Report this post to the editors

And also CIA Rendition Flights

At a lecture jointly organised by Amnesty International Irish Section and The Irish Centre for Human Rights last night (18/10/05) entitled "Into the wilderness: how to escape history in Iraq" in National University of Ireland, Galway, Robert Fisk outlined the state of Iraq at present and his misgivings for a peaceful future there.

Robert Fisk

In answer to a question from the floor regarding US planes landing in Shannon he said (I paraphrase) that that is not really the issue. There is a war on and if planes are going to refuel they are going to refuel, whether in Ireland or not.

Mr Fisk, who was also publicising his new book "The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East", did go on to say, however, that what is much more worrying is the unmarked CIA planes that are landing in Shannon as part of their rendition programme with people who are likely to be brought to countries to be tortured, perhaps to death. Mr Fisk asserted that the Garda Siochana should get onboard each of these jets and check if they are being used for rendition purposes and make arrests if necessary. This remark was met with a round of applause.
