John Brennan, the Irish American who keeps America safe

Does anyone know where in Roscommon - what town or area - Mr. Brennan's people are from? Thank you.

Google in the input: = ashops.us ==you can find many brand names, even more surprising is that he will sell you the unexpected o(∩_∩)o

I'm with DennisQ, Brennan is an Obama YES man, like Kelly is. My roots are in Roscommon, NO, can't say I'm proud of him.

John Brennan is a leading force in a team that is actually doing a better, more strategic job in blocking terrorists activity than the previous administration that relied primarily on bluster and color charts to scare the people into looking under their beds at night, while actually accomplishing little.

The threat of terrorist attack has been inflated for political purposes; and Brennan is up to his neck in it. It's embarrassing the number of Irish names involved in the phony business of spreading fear. The list also includes Raymond Kelly, New York's Police Commissioner; and Patrick Gallagher, the Director of Standards and Technology who refuses to re-open the Building Seven investigation for a less-fanciful determination of what actually happened that day.

Neither Brennan nor Kelly nor Gallagher give us much to be proud of. Every good thing they do is outweighed by questions about their motives. They've got big government jobs, but they're working for the bosses; in fact, they are the bosses. As Yeats remarked, a beggar on horseback lashes a beggar on foot.
