SHORT REPORT ON LAST WEEK'S VIGIL

Vigil went well with 6 folks.

As we were setting up Brendan O'Connor went strolling by and Con was able to give him some much needed consumer feedback for his pro-war cheerleading in the Sunday Indo.

Colim doned the Guantanamo jumpsuit and with our large "U.S Military Out o Shannon" and "Stop Irish Participation in the War" it was all very visual.

It was also great to have some Spanish speakers wit Mairtin and Con addressing passing droves of Spanish kids on school trips.
Also a very moving interaction with an American woman tourist who had been jailed for anti-war resistance during the Vietnam War. She was very grateful for our presence and very angry with her government.

Meanwhile in Brisbane, Australia Catholic Workers and friends returned to Raytheon. Check link for report andphotos
