Tarred with wrong brush!

Senator Terry Layden Fianna Fail yesterday called for the Government to send a mission to Palestine to see at first hand what is going on there. This is a very brave stance considereing recent FF Central Command orders for total obedience to the "Regime".

I fully support actions and pickets on government offices and ministers who are complicit in the ongoing illegal invasion of Iraq but a mistake was made in daubing paint on Sentor Layden.

No malice or personal insult was intended against Senator Layden but nonetheless he should not as a man of courage and foresight have been daubed with red paint. It is vital not to lose sight of the Real Villians.

Senator Layden faced the crowd outside Dail Eireann that day when the real villians ran for safety, escorted by Gardai. He tried to talk and when daubed he did not press charges or even make any angry statements.

I think it would be nice if people wrote to Mr Layden to express their support for him and to express our sorrow that he was targeted.

I have no connection with Fianna Fail or Mr Layden .
