According to the Dáil Report in The Irish Times on Friday 11 November, the Taoiseach said: “Human Rights Watch went on to say that it was highly unlikely that this type of clandestine activity [i.e. the CIA's extraordinary renditions] would operate out of a major civilian airport.” On this basis, we are to be reassured that we do not need to search US aircraft landing at Shannon. In a letter to the Taoiseach, I quote reports from mainstream media sources of CIA aircraft operating its extraordinary abuses out of the following major civilian airports: Bromma (aka Stockholm City Airport), Dulles (Washington), Prestwick (Glasgow), Queen Alia (Amman) and Kastrup (Copenhagen).

The Spanish heirarchy meanwhile has spent the last weeks pumping up its fans for a march against the Socialists plans for education reform today in Madrid which is to "draw a million". Its the return match after the Bishops drew a million to oppose gay marriage. Two traditionally catholic states who have only recently experienced prosperity, and begun the development of socially open and secular societies dealing with "much the same" problems. __________________________________________ Liz O'Donnell's speech to the Dail, came from a woman who obviously feels she suffered at the hands of "the special relationship" at the heart of the Irish state.

At its' October 2005 conference the Workers Solidarity Movement made a large number of changes to our position paper on 'The Partition of Ireland'. The first draft of this paper was posted to indymedia back in August 2004 leading to a debate over some 68 comments ( see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=66227 ). In November 2004 Organise! published a major response to our position paper called 'Crossing the border' (see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=67598 ) leading to another 30 or so comments.
