 Saturday July 05, 2003 18:18 by Vinnie - Galway Alliance Against War
 On Thursday night, Scott Ritter the former UN weapons inspector for Iraq spoke to a packed room in the Menlo Park Hotel, Galway, at a meeting hosted by the Galway Alliance Against War. Scott was in Ireland to testify at Mary Kelly's trial, and spoke at length about her actions in disarming a US warplane at Shannon airport, and how he felt more people need to become active citizens, rather than just passive consumers, if we are to make into a reality the notion that both Ireland and America are democratic republics. Scott spoke of many other issues and was warmly received by the audience and many questions were raised.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Scott Ritter's speech was tremendous, humourous as well as hard-hitting. It is well-worth listening to, and fair play to Vinnie for making it available.

Scott Ritter is a self proclaimed Zionist.
