Unbelievable! WTF?

Thanks for pointing this out... I am hoping there will be outrage in Ireland.

from the article:
"It also allows US authorities access to an Irish suspect's confidential bank information. The Irish authorities must keep all these activities secret if asked to do so by the US.

The person who will request co-operation is US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, the man who, as White House counsel, instigated the notorious 'torture memo' to US President George W Bush which advised how far CIA agents could go in torturing prisoners. The person to whom the request is sent is the Minister for Justice.

About 20,000 immigrants, who have not been charged with any crime, are currently in prison in the US."

on edit: This reminds me of when I saw John Stockwell, a Central Intelligence agent who spoke publicly about the criminal corruption of our democracy by the Agency and its danger to the world. After going over his experience at the Agency and reviewing its dark history he told the audience to "go home, find your dictionary and look up the word 'safe.' Take that page and tear it right out of the dictionary because in today's world there is no place safe any longer." That was fifteen years ago. Good Lord, he was right!
