#2 That's an awefully high moral tone for people who blew up bars and police stations for 60 years.

#6 If there was a "manacled soldier" on board the flight, there was an armed escort along with him. I suspect the soldier was American. I doubt it had anything to do with the activities in Iraq or Afghanistan. Soldiers used to be shipped back to the States that way from Mannheim on a regular basis. I've been on two flights with them.

#7 SO now the nation of Ireland will assume that the word of the U.S. Government regarding the contents of US military aircraft isn't good enough, and will require inspections. Hmmmm, is it just me or does this cut two ways?
A. Don't fly through there anymore,
B. Don't let them pass through US schools, installations or property without similar inspections. Seems to me they make a lot of money from trading with the US, so where does this bull**it attitude come from?

#9 so where does this bull**it attitude come from?

Brussels. And make no mistake about it. They aren't our allies.

#10 I suspect the soldier was American.

It sounds like he was -- convicted under military codes and headed for punishment stateside. Of course, they can't make that detail a prominent part of the story; that would rob it of the frisson of evil they need to really bash the US.
