On priest-child-molesters.
Newly released U.S. diplomatic cables indicate that Ireland caved in to Vatican pressure to grant immunity to church officials in the government probe of decades of sex abuse by Irish clergy in the predominantly Catholic nation.
That the Holy See used its diplomatic immunity status as a tiny-city state to try to thwart Ireland's government-led probe has long been known. But the WikiLeaks cables, published by Britain's The Guardian newspaper on Saturday, contain delicate, behind-the-scenes diplomatic assessments of the highly charged situation.

Sorry Joe, Andy, et al. But your church donations go to help cover up child rape. You must be proud.
Wikileaked Cables show Ireland caved to Vatican pressure
Re: Wikileaked Cables show Ireland caved to Vatican pressure
Seriously, what a load. You mean the government prosecutors granted immunity to witnesses so as to secure their testimony in an investigation? This happens all the time. Prosecutors grant immunity to those considered material witnesses. This isn't done to "thwart" investigations, but instead it is done to aid investigators, so that they can get the information they want.
Immunity is offered to the witness not because the investigators believe that the witness has done anything wrong, but because they want the witness to testify completely without fear of withholding some facts because the witness fears they may incriminate him.
No attorney worth his salt allows his client to testify to an investigative panel without getting a grant of immunity. On the other hand, prosecutors don't grant immunity to witnesses that are actual targets of their investigation.
Move along.

I expect twisting the facts to bring on Catholic hate from D1B, Cobblestone and OSBF, not you Jon.

"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."
