It is a scandal that the Galway Chamber of Commerce has invited the American Ambassador, Mr James C. Kenny, to be the key speaker and special guest at its summer lunch at the Ardilaun House Hotel, on Wednesday 28th June. The invitation must be withdrawn: the Ambassador represents Bush the torturer and war criminal; and he is coming to Galway on the same day that Amnesty International hosts a meeting entitled “Torture in the Age of Terror,” with guest speaker Mr Abubaker Deghayes, whose brother Mr Omar Deghayes is locked up by the US Government in Guantanamo Bay, and has been there for two years without trial.
Please contact one or all of the following addresses and ask for the invitation to be withdrawn.

US Embassy: 42 Elgin Rd, Dublin 4. (01 668 8777)
The Ardilaun House Hotel, Taylor’s Hill, Galway. (091 521433)
Galway Chamber of Commerce, Merchants’ Rd., Galway. (091 563536)

Sir - It is not long ago that The Limerick Leader newspaper carried an article in which Mr Kenny more or less warned the people of Limerick and the Shannon region that it there was too much noise about US use of the airport at Shannon jobs could go. I waited in vain for the leader of our country, Bertie Ahern, to slap Mr Kenny's wrist for daring to virtually threaten, by stealth, Irish workers; no such slap was forthcoming, as our great leader, protecting our interests as always, looked the other way. and said nothing. The US Ambassador will no doubt make similar threatening noises in Galway. Let him also mention while he's at it how the US funded the Taliban whom they now consider 'terrorists'; how US foreign policy permitted, indeed encouraged, through the CIA, the moulding together of extremist Islamicist belief and interpretation with notions of violent reaction in Afghanistan ; how the CIA funded a booklet, sent to Afghani schools and elsewhere and freely distributed, elucidating elements of this strategy - the whole idea being to create and devise a notion of Islamicist extremism. How the 'war on terror' began as, and remains, a war to secure oil pipelines in central Asia. I do hope Galway's good and true business types will ask Mr Kenny how he feels about the incidents of women and children, indeed, whole families, being wiped out in Afghanistan and Iraq, because of US foreign policy.

Here's a link with all the information about that article Fred referred to above, including the letter he sent to the Limerick Leader (transcribed in full).

Here's a piece on how the Limerick Leader followed up this act.

I hope this goon gets the welcome he deserves.
