Jump To Comment: 3 2 1Fiery S :The only people responsible for any terrorist attack on Ireland will be those activists that have continually highlighted the issue of Shannon. Without that Al-Queda would not know where Ireland was.
Really? How about the US press boasting about the welcome given to their troops, and that was BEFORE the Shannon peace camp.
e.g. http://www.savannahnow.com/stories/112902/LOCLongKuwait...shtml KUWAIT-ING GAME by Noelle Phillips. from NOVEMBER 2002
The journo reports 291 troops heading for Kuwait, stopping in Shannon, staying in the Clare Inn Hotel, touring Dromoland Castle, drinking in Poachers Pub, and meeting the US Army's highest ranking officer who also happened to passing through Shannon at the time.
Where's your moral outrage for her report? It was syndicated all over the US.
It's the Irish people that this was being kept from, by our cowardly government. The US was very quick to brag about the widespread support they got from places including Ireland. Anyone plotting on hitting the US military in a soft target could read about US miltiary using Shannon in US newspapers or online, or do you think that Islamic terrorist groups don't read US new sites, only the Irish Times?
The Government has been made aware of the dangers to Shannon, and carry on because of political reasons. Hoping nothing will go wrong, and blaming the whistleblowers if it ever does is not much of a safety policy is it?
We allowed the Russians to pass through on the way to Cuba during the missile crisis. Nothing happened.
The only people responsible for any terrorist attack on Ireland will be those activists that have continually highlighted the issue of Shannon. Without that Al-Queda would not know where Ireland was.
Ciaran O'reilly is absolutely correct on this one - Shannon is an obvious target for Islamic fundamentalists and, when it happens, I hope people don't pretend that it wasn't foretold. The only way to avoid this is for Ireland to disengage drom assisting a war that most Irish people oppose.
