Government silence on US military flights

What an amazing week last week was for Irish neutrality.

The role of successive Irish governments in the misnamed ‘war on terror’ was exposed by the report from the Open Society Justice Initiative titled “Globalising Torture: CIA Secret Detention and Extraordinary Rendition”, in which it was demonstrated Shannon Airport played a significant role in the CIA’s controversial rendition programme.

Silence ensues from the current Government as US troops keep on rolling through Shannon on a daily basis.
