Women's group Knit-In at Shannon to expose truth This weekend, Shannon airport was almost deserted of civilian air traffic. However, its transformation into a WARPORT is no longer just a slogan, it comes close to reality. On Saturday the usual OMNI Air US troop-carrying planes were joined by a Hercules C130 probably transporting munitions to the US wars on Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq. An oil-tanker was docked at the Shannon airport Jetty delivering aviation fuel to fuel the aircraft including the warplanes. On Sunday Top-Oil oil company was refuelling another Hercules C130 in the centre of the airport. An Irish Army patrol performed security duties, instead of arresting the potential war criminals. These events did not go unnoticed or unmarked. A women's peace group led by Margaretta Darcy spent 24 hours at the airport engaged in a KNIT-IN for Peace, and keeping a close watch on the transit of the warplanes through the airport.

And the word is from the head honchos in Leinster House that the mangled, violated, pitiable thing called "Irish neutrality" is firmly protected and copperfastened in the Lisbon Treaty - Jesus, give me an empty sick bag someone, quickly (and a biro to tick the No box next Friday).?

Well done to Margaretta and all who joined her, sorry I couldn't make it -we should all be there until they stop trampling on our constitution and realise that we want nothing to do with agression against mostly impoverished citizens of other countries.
This was great stuff and congratulations to all who took part. As I have remarked before, the US have a permanent base at Shannon. The people of Ireland were, naturally, not consulted about this.
this was the 1st C-17A to visit Baldonnel - 26/09/09.
