Why is the US ambassador to Ireland, Richard Egan, attending a terrorist convention in Dublin?

The convention includes people from Sinn Fein-IRA, ETA, PLO and the FALN from Porto Rico. The first three have close links to Colombia's FARC.

I'm HOPING it was because the airhead Kennedy woman he replaced had already accepted the invitation,so he was pretty much obligated to follow-through.

I didn't know it would be that obvious.
