Britain's involvement in terrorism...

According to the White House, America's 'War on Terrorism' makes "no distinction between those who commit acts of terror and those who support and harbor terrorists. We are working to disrupt the flow of resources from states to terrorists while simultaneously end state sponsorship of terrorism."  

Given that in her recent report, Nuala O'Loan found that the British security forces have supported, harboured and resourced terrorists* and that George Bush has said that " if you harbor a terrorist, you're equally as guilty as the terrorist", should we now open the debate on whether we are going to allow Shannon to be used as a base for air strikes on London by the US Air Force?
