Treaty gives CIA powers over Irish citizens

By Dan Buckley

07/21/05 “Irish Examiner” – – US INVESTIGATORS, including CIA agents, will be allowed interrogate Irish citizens on Irish soil in total secrecy, under an agreement signed between Ireland and the US last week.

Suspects will also have to give testimony and allow property to be searched and seized even if what the suspect is accused of is not a crime in Ireland.

Under ‘instruments of agreement’ signed last week by Justice Minister Michael McDowell, Ireland and the US pledged mutual co-operation in the investigation of criminal activity. It is primarily designed to assist America’s so-called ‘war on terror’ in the wake of the September 11 atrocities. </i>

To the readers of TTP who are parents, doesn’t the behavior of our government remind you of your children when they were young? The behavior that sees that they can get away THIS, so they should try THAT, and if that doesn’t draw a response, then attempt this other thing, until mom screams and they stop.

It’s way past time to scream. Somebody needs to stop these people before America becomes a third world police state.
