Higgins Outraged When Sinn Fein Leader Stopped By Terrorist Watch List

Mar 18, 2006 - A St. Patricks day crowd in South Buffalo didn’t get to hear the star attraction…he was detained in Washington after turning up on a terrorist watch list.

Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein was detained at Reagan National Airport. Sinn Fein is the political arm of the Irish Republican Army.

Congressman Brian Higgins broke the news to hundreds of people celebrating the holiday at the Irish Center in South Buffalo. “We got a call tonight that Gerry Adams is being detained in Washington for in inordinate period of time because his name turned up on a terror watch list.” The crowd booed the announcement.

Adams is a key figure in the Irish peace process and many credit him for moving that process forward. But he and his party remain controversial. Even though Adams has been in the country for days, and even met with President Bush at the White House, he was denied boarding his flight to Buffalo when his name turned up on the terrorist watch list.

Adams reacted from Washington: “I'm surprised and bewildered as to the rationale and the purpose, I just don't understand it."

Higgins was also puzzled : “I think this administration needs to be more understanding of the issues surrounding the Northern Ireland peace process."

Note to terrorists planning to travel to the United States: Allow enough room in your itinerary for a little extra scrutiny.

It would have been an outrage if he wasn't stopped.

Bingo!!

It's amazing how Sinn Fein/IRA and their supporters think they are different from other terrorist groups. I guess that's because political leaders treat them as such - nope, a terrorist is a terrorist.

Well this probably put a damper on that night's rendition of the Unicorn Song.

It's amazing how a terrorist can be treated like celebrity, it was the same with Arafat.

People do seem to have short memories, selective amnesia is powerful!!

Good. Too bad we can't take the Fenian scum against a wall and pay him back for all he's done.

...didn’t get to hear the star attraction...

Surely they could have gone to a local mosque and found a suitable substitute to preach terrorism.
