EUROCRAT: The plane that took him to Cairo, it's next stop was Shannon, on the way home. We had to soften the report to reduce the criticism of the Irish glover-ment. Extraordinary rendition is clearly a breach of international law.

- Might be one for the long haul.

Would you prefer to have Hitler here, and his antics? We need those planes.

Valentine's day massacre. Tommy guns on text. When one of the dying men, Frank "Tight Lips" Gusenberg, was asked who shot him, he replied, "Nobody shot me."
SCENE:
Dream dinner date, desserts.
MISE (me): I want you to be the general officer commanding of the women volunteers, the Cumann na Mbemales.
COLLEEN DEAS (nice girl): Righto. Mission understood, eh, do we have a name?
MISE: We don't know yet. The volunteers are called "Oglaigh Rua", for now, it means "Red Volunteers". It's an insurrectionist thing. With the Romantic ideals of the French Revolution and the American struggle for Independence, and a little bit of Latin American Marxism for flavour. We're eco-friendly socially democratic republicans.
COLLEEN DEAS: "Eco-warriors"?
MISE: "Well, no, not exactly. I mean, we prefer to say 'Independently-minded Warriors with ecologically sound principles'. More like Che Guevara than Al Gore.
COLEEN DEAS: Ooo. We're independence fighters?
MISE: Co-rrect.
COLEEN DEAS (excited, grabs my hand): Grand, so. (Puzzled expression.) Eh, do you mind me asking, what are we seeking independence from?
MISE: Ireland.

FLATCAPPER: The case against the Irish is not that detainees have been put through the airport.
EUROCRAT: That's what I said.
FLATCAPPER: The most high profile case was a guy taken to Egypt. We have assurances detainees are not being transported, no reason to disbelieve. Sure it's only a pit stop.
EUROCRAT: That's exactly what I said.
FLATCAPPER: I've been trying to listen to this over the internet in Strasbourg so I'll pretend I didn't hear lots of the valid points you're making.
22:50
FORKED TONGUES: If the police suspect a crime is being committed, they may certainly search the private (CIA) plane.

I think I might call into interrupt my neighbour's romantic interlude and gently suggest he ask them skanky hoes to shut fucking up.
