They could have come and spoken to us, and asked if we minded having our photos taken, but behaved more furtively. Two of us approached them and tried to engage them in conversation but in an accent that seemed more American than not, the older one said, I do not understand. They then walked back to the their car and made their way out through the Industrial Estate as if they knew their way around Shannon better than most non-English speaking tourists. <br />
<br />
Perhaps we are being paranoid, but we had the suspicion that these individuals just might be US government agents of some sort, perhaps representing the organisation that has been shipping prisoners to Guantanamo for nefarious reasons. <br />
<br />
If anyone can identify these two individuals, please put our minds at rest, or otherwise.<br />

These guys are coming here for two week holidays, playing golf and hiring cars. <br />
They land, eat, use the toilet while their plane is refuelled and then, off to Iraq to shoot at people, and get shot at or risk getting blown up.<br />
Most of them don't believe in the mission, most US civilians don't, and neither do the Iraqis.<br />
The Irish government simply lacks the guts to say no, so more people will die for political convenience.
