IRISH MOTHERS AGAINST WAR AT DUBLIN AIRPORT THIS WEEKEND -

their mail address is - imawiniraq@online.ie

increasingly suspicious of IMAW protest at Dublin airport tomorrow - Isn't it a little too easy for the meeja to mix up IMAW with IAWM - Irish Women against the war - protesting american tourists against everybody's advice - I'm pasting in my e-mail correspondence with them here: their reply (unsigned which makes me suspicious) is underneath.

This is how I heard of them: http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=40168&start=0

Forward to IAWM friendly ppl and others in IAWM just to be sure - pre-emptive spin - they know all about that in Dail

Correspondence below (IMAW reply below my mail to them)

Thanks for your suggestions. But we still intend protesting at Dublin airport
for at least this weekend.

I can't believe that anyone is still taking them seriously as a genuine anti-war group. The only name they have put forward is "spokeswoman Nuala O'Farrell". They do not give any contact address or phone number, only an e-mail address.
Looks to me as if someone was just being mischievious.
