    did ya see Genzyme plant in waterford has been classed as vitally important to America according to a new leak on wiki leaks

    source
    Website WikiLeaks published details of sites around the globe which the United States deems vital to its interests, prompting criticism that it is helping militants identify targets for attack.

    The list includes two Irish locations: The Hibernia Atlantic undersea cable landing in Dublin and the Genzyme Ireland pharmaceutical plant in Co Waterford.

    The Genzyme factory, established in 2001, produces Thymoglobulin, a kidney transplant rejection product.

    guess that makes it a legit terror target.... although i dunno how the kidney transplants are vital or of stategic importance to america

    That's mad though given the size of the place. In any even I hear the founder of wikileaks got arrested today in London.

    That reminds me of a story when the US first invaded Afghanistan, saying that Honeywell was a potential terrorist target as they made some part that's used in American planes/fighter jets. Don't know who started that story though.
