Is something going down somewhere sometime soon?

Shannon airport and Irish airspace are being used on a daily basis by US warplanes, with the permission of the Irish Government, in contravention of international laws on neutrality, in spite of the Irish Governments claims that Ireland is still a neutral state.

Lies, Lies and Damn Lies

On Friday last, 25 July there were two US airforce Hercules C130 warplanes at Shannon.
On Sunday a US military Gulfstream IV N473GA. Painted in military colours, US military reg 90-0300, landed and refuelled at Shannon.

Also refuelled at Shannon on Sunday was a C17 US warplane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-17_Globemaster_III

We have reliable reports that the following US warplanes flew through Irish airspace also on Sunday 27th July:
C5 - US military cargo plane and a Boeing Sentry, a surveillance and communications plane.

See also in todays Irish Times P4 details of Irish complicity in the rendition of Binyam Mohamed to Morocco, to Afghanistan, and to Guantanamo using CIA aircraft N379P and N313p, that were refuelled at Shannon, and whose crews stayed overnight in the Shannon region.

The noose is tightening around our complicit criminals at Shannon and Leinster House.
