[Atchafalaya]

Don't ever underestimate the Brits; they are absoloutly brutal when it is called for.

[StJacques]

Indeed they can be Atchafalaya. And even more than they, the Brits are one of the most devious people on earth. Just study intelligence in the Second World War to see the truth. The Coventry Secret (not evacuating before the bombing because it might reveal they knew the code), the decoy of the body of the "fake diplomat" washing ashore in Spain before the invasion of Sicily carrying papers saying it was going to be a landing in France, the "phony army" under Patton's command sending meaningless radio signals prior to D-Day to convince the Gerries that the Pas de Calais was the real target, and on and on.

I have no doubt that when we learn the full truth of this operation we're going to see some more creative thinking on their part.
