Galway Cosantoiri Siochana : "Ireland's complicity in US war crimes is THE election issue?

“Peace activists are still liable to arrest at Shannon for exposing the truth, but the CIA are free to use the airport for torture rendition flights" (anti-war activist, Conor Cregan)

Outraged but not surprised at, what amounts to a mainstream media/political parties cosy conspirancy not to make Ireland's aiding and abetting of the attack on Iraq an electoral issue, two anti-war activists, early today, took to Galway's streets to say our piece through paint brushes and the ad-busting of Ahern's election placards.

The newly erected plywood hoarding opposite the Westside Shopping Centre was the first to receive our attentions and then followed a bicycle hunt to find placards of Ahern low enough on the electricity poles to be busted without the aid of a stepladder - in contrast to Michael D's, Neill O'Brolchain's (Green Party) and Catherine Connolly's (Ind) and others (unmentionables) most were high, very high.

Another issue of vital importance on the election radar screen that the blind eye has been turned to is the Rossport/ Shell situation. It seems Ireland does'nt do conscience any more, just greed, war criminality, the obscene jury exoneration of vicious racist murder, the future facilitation of such through legislation by Kenny if and when he becomes Taoiseach and the re-elections of proven rogues, Lowry and Flynn on the first counts?.

Fuck it, I'm reaching for the sick bag and then the paint brush as the antidote.
