Irish neurtality had been betrayed to the U.S. warlords said Berrigan. He said that the actions of Mary Kelly and the Ploughshare 5, in symbolically removing the machinery of death were acts of justice and compassion. He said it was a great victory that the war planes had been removed. Keep the heat on the warlords said Berrigan. He said that on Saturday, if he is at large, he will march with the Irish contingent in the NYC demo. behind the banner, We serve neither Mobil nor Bush, echoing Connolly, in whose murder the Irish Independent played a despicable role, as they do today in attacking peace activists.
