I wonder what photos they brought back.
I hear they so popular in Columbia that the government there wants to give free 1 way tickets back.
How did they get back into Ireland? What passports they use now?
Scum.
I dunno ... the timing was brilliant on their behalf in fairness .... they were just about to pack their bags and low and behold .... the IRA disbanded back in Eire .... now there was timing for you !!
The Provos disband, yeah right. :rolleyes:Quote:

only punishment for them is to send them waterford :DQuote:

Don't get me wrong; obviously, they were not there to collect botanical samples, but so what? FFS, paramilitaries in the North on both sides who carried out brutal murders are walking free today following early release under the GFA. All that makes the Colombia Three different is the media interest in the show trial they faced. Why should we be bothered? This is a nine day wonder. IMO most people will have forgotten all about it in less than a fortnight.
They were doing the World Terorism 101 lecture series; how to attack the Brits. The Colombians take a very holistic approach to terorism dont ya know ;)
After all that hassle they've had they deserve a holiday, Columbia again perhaps!!
Were they not training the FARC lads bombing making 101?
We have no right to tell the Columbians what to do that will help the Peace Process here.
Anyone see the cartoon on the front of the IT on tuesday? Excellent!
:D
the one with the birds? class.Quote:

A shame they couldn't leave Columbia in Peace. Would irish people object to foreign terrorists going to NI to "talk" to Loyalist paramilitaries?Quote:

as for leaving colombia in peace they were found "not-guilty" before a reversal of the decision, ie "try them again til we get the verdict we want", kinda like the nice treaty and FF
no civilised country should extradite someone to a country like colombia anyway.barring the west-coast touristy part,its one of the most dangerous countries on the planet. do you know anything about that modello prison they were held in?built for something like 1000 inmates, currently holds 5000+, gunfights, riots and murders are a regular occurence.it holds the most dangerous criminals/terrorists in colombia. its a effectively a death sentence to return anyone to that place
i wouldnt object to someone going to study the peace process in the north thoughQuote:

Also its been suggested the 3 bird watchers have broken irish law by travelling on false passports so they have to face a trial for that.
