We’ve remained shamefully silent as the US violates its own values

WHAT sort of values is the West fighting for in its so-called war against terror? It’s no longer about freedom, is it, or democracy?

It has nothing to do with justice, or the standards of civilised law espoused by, among others, the US Supreme Court.

And why are we turning a blind eye? Why is our Government so determined to ensure that the US will never be embarrassed at the discovery of anything improper on its planes in Shannon?
