'Kiss me I'm an Irish Taliban'

The Australian and American taliban, their Irish roots and the British Royal ancestry of George Bush: Who gets the shamrock?

Australian Taliban fighter David Hicks was not engaged in any activity against the United States when arrested in Afghanistan. He is being detained under military order of President George W Bush and there are no time limits on his detention. Permission has been refused to see his lawyer or family. Under the order, he can be brought before a military tribunal where the normal rules of evidence did not apply. When they are finished torturing him they can even shoot him under the presidential order. However suicide is a major risk for these prisoners so he may not live long enough to be shot.

I am so proud of our political leaders who are presenting Mr Bush with bowls of shamrock when he is actively torturing other men of Irish descent in ($150,000) dog kennels in Guantanamo Bay. His mother Barbara may even send on some to her realtive , the so-called "queen of England".

Will someone bring a bowl of Shamrock to John Walker "the American Taliban" who is also being held without charge. He loved Ireland when he was here and his Irish ancestry entitle him to more shamrock than a man who murdered 20,000 innocent people in Afghanistan to create a hell hole where women and young men are even being dragges in police stations to be raped!

Na dean e !

Give Bush the Brush!
