Irish Activist, Rendition Critic Has US Visa Revoked
----------------------------------------------------



And a prominent Irish peace activist says he’s had his US visa revoked
without explanation. The activist, Edward Horgan, is the co-founder of
Shannon Watch, which has documented the use of Ireland’s Shannon Airport
in the US kidnapping practice known as “extraordinary rendition.” Horgan
is a former UN peacekeeper who has also served in the Irish military. He
is currently scheduled to speak at North Carolina’s Duke University next
month about his opposition to “extraordinary rendition.”
