Diego Garcia plays its part in the War on Terror

Anxious to do its bit, tiny island Diego Garcia plays host to rendition flights as reported last week. The Brits were none too happy to find out there terror-tory was being used in this way by their wayward unter-partner in world policing. When will the sepos ever learn?

Of course this lark has being going on for ages down in Rynanna - pretty soon only the GIs will be using the place. Not only have the Russians given up flying to Cuba but even Aer Wingless has seen the light.

Of course if we told the yanks to fuck off and not be pissing on our soverignty/neutrality/dignity then all the pharmas and software firms would pack up and take their jobs to the next nearest tax haven, or would they?

As softheaded lefties like Vincent Browne has been repeating for ages we don't have politics here we just have managerialism. Unlike the beloved Fronch (who have their own dirty tricks department and private wars unit but won't help George W) Ireland has no national project, other than to continue doing all right Jack. We are the Diego Garcia of the northern hemisphere.
