You may be interested to note that this "prison" is run by the british terrorists in Ireland. I strongly object to your "prison housing terrorists" remark, as it is an insult to the those who have resisted the repression and criminalization practised by the Brit forces of occupation. This is not mere rhetoric, as has been proved by the massive support for the hunger strikers in 1981 and the electoral gains for Sinn Fein in the interim. Peace will come to Ireland when the British have been forced to leave and not before. Dermot O'Sullivan DEC E-NET DUBSWS::D_OSULLIVAN decvax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dubsws!d_osullivan

It may be true that there will be no peace in Ireland until the British leave, but if they left today, it would be quite a while and quite a lot of blood before there was any peace. The Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland aren't killing each other because the British are there; they are killing each other because they hate each other.
