#1 They knew the job was dangerous when they took it, Fred.

That's why we should have a rapid-response force on alert, to go in and kick ass if needed to protect the inspectors.

The fact that such a rescue would be the trigger for full-scale invasion is simply an added benefit.

#2 Want to bet that the Special Ops guys (ours and the Brits, maybe the Aussies as well) already have an unofficial "rapid-response force" that's just itching to go? I'm comfortably certain that amongst the many contingency plans they've drawn up, pulling inspetors out of a hostile inspection site is one of them.

Mojo is right, the rescue would be a useful causus belli.
