My Meeting With Irish Foreign Minister

A message from Cindy Sheehan

Dear Friends

Dermot Ahern, Irish "Secretary of State" has agreed to meet with me this afternoon in Dublin. This is huge. He just met with Condi last week, he is the Prime Minister's brother, and he usually meets with heads of state.
Irish citizens are extremely concerned with the fact that the US lands its troop transport planes at Shannon airport in Claire County.







Dear Friends

Dermot Ahern, Irish "Secretary of State" has agreed to meet with me this afternoon in Dublin. This is huge. He just met with Condi last week, he is the Prime Minister's brother, and he usually meets with heads of state.

Irish citizens are extremely concerned with the fact that the US lands its troop transport planes at Shannon airport in Claire County. They are also rightfully outraged that it appears that the US is also landing the airplanes to refuel at Shannon that are used for rendition.

Ireland polls at over 80 percent in opposition to the occupation of Iraq. The Irish do not want their country used in anyway to support the war crimes of the Bush and Blair administrations.

I hope I can effectively convey that the best way for Ireland to be friends of the US and of the world would be to stop allowing the US to misuse them in the perpetration of war crimes.
Just the fact that Mr. Ahern is willing to meet with me shows incredible integrity and also that he is willing to be open to what the rest of Ireland is saying.

I have included below an article from ABC News about Condi's visit to Ireland last week. And how she just expects Europe to "trust" the US when they say that we aren't torturing people in the planes. I wouldn't trust her if she said that the sun will come up tomorrow. She's the one that used the phrase "smoking gun" when she knew that Saddam had no WMDs.

Wish us luck. It is amazing how the Peace Movement from all countries is coming together to work for peace and for humanity. We will prevail.

Love
Cindy

Rice: Ireland not secret transfer site:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Ireland on Thursday the United States had not used its territory to secretly transfer terrorism suspects to foreign states as she tried to defuse concerns over the handling of US detainees.

US mother in plea over troop movements:
The Irish Government must stop the US military using Shannon Airport to transport troops to the Middle East, American anti-war campaigner Cindy Sheehan demanded ahead of a meeting with Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern today.
