Why are climate alarmists so impervious to facts, so averse to rational cost-benefit analysis? It has all the hallmarks of a religious cult, says James Allan. They can't let it go because it gives meaning to their lives.

Galway firm does research for Raytheon

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Sunday December 09, 2007 21:18author by Sean Melman Report this post to the editors

A Galway company Composites Testing Laboratory does materials testing for Raytheon, Lockheed and Cessna.

CTL, headed by Dr.O Bradaigh, has a contract with BAE to test composite materials. BAE Systems "primes include Airbus, Boeing, Raytheon, Cessna and Lockheed."

http://www.entemp.ie/press/2005/20051006.htm

Micheal O Martin said in the press release:' Under the terms of the agreement CTL will be the preferred testing laboratory for ALL composite material testing requirements for BAE'.
Are we to believe that the materials tested are never used in military aircraft?
Are the materials used for civilian aircraft different from the materials used for military aircraft?

The question is, will anyone from the Irish government be there to remove Ratheon explosives schrapnel from little kids dead bodies this Christmas, that the Brits will use on some defensless village.
I'm sure Michael Martin will accept, as should we all, the assurances that will be given just as soon as he asks for them under pressure from Dail colleagues whom may shed some skepticism on wether or not these parts to be tested are used for commercial planes only. or, as in the case of Rendition, we may rest assured when Bertie asks Bush 'to be sure , to be sure?'...and Bush, the God fearing Christian whom we all can trust says to (a)- him...shhuuuurrre.
