Asylum

When I read this morning that two Irish parliamentarians were urging US troops to claim asylum while in transit at Shannon Airport, I thought it was ridiculous and amusing. Now, 14 hours later, I'm not so amused.

I've been thinking about this on and off all day. I hope the US government bars these two from ever traveling to America at a minimum.

Still, I'm wondering if I should relax and trust my initial reaction that this is a joke.
