On Nov 16th thousands of U.S. citizens will be resisting at a terrorist training camp in Colombus, Georgia - the School of the Americas, Ft. Benning. 40 folks remain in jail from last years resistance/trespass.

Check out the following website for background and details www.soaw.org

Nov 16 is good day to be on the streets against U.S. terror....the anniversary of the 1989 slaying of 6 Jesuits and 2 Salvadoran co-workers by graduates trained in Georgia.

Many of the U.S. soldiers commuting through Shannon would have recieved their training at Ft. Benning (the SOA is only one section of the base where 10,000 Colombian troops have passed throught in the past 10 years.)

We will be outside the US Embassy with LASC from 2pm - 4 pm....**wear black in soldiarity with all those slain by the graduates of SOA
