Following up on the McCartney sisters
Last March Paula, Catherine, Donna, Claire and Gemma McCartney, and Bridgeen Hagans came to the USA and attended the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC, and visited with Pres. Bush. As Open Democracy explains,
The sisters seek truth and justice for their brother, and have become front figures in what has developed into a campaign to put an end to the IRA.The women are risking everything,
Earlier this month the family blamed republicans for a threat to burn them out of their homes and businesses.which Sinn Fein's denying. However, Ireland On Line states the police had confirmed that the latest threat was from republican sectors. The Chicago Tribune has an up-to-date report.
The women's relentless campaign has attracted a nomination for the annual Robert Burns Humanitarian Award.

Those women should've gotten the "Profiles in Courage" prize from the Kennedy Foundation.
Guess who they gave it to instead? The soldier who turned in the pictures of the Abu Ghraib goons. Never miss a chance to slam the administration. This one is so transparent as to be invisible.
Thanks for the info on Madrid.
The Kennedy Foundation is amiss in its mission.
Thank you, Dymphna. I'll keep posting on new developments on the Madrid investigation as they come up.
