#2 True or not, it did 'em a lot of good, didn't it? Is it just me, or does everything the French touch turn to shit?

#3 I am sure that US officials watched what they said and wrote to the head of the AoW, so we were not really compromised. It is kind of a tradition in the US, dating back to WWII, and probably even before. Being prudent, ya know...

#5 Is de Villipen frog for "weasel". It may not of really been French policy to do this and the Sunday Times may be having a bit of fun with the French, BUT. And this is a great big BUT did the French do anything to discourage the passing of information by lower level intelligence types. By lower level I mean say the Head of the American Desk at the DSB or what ever they call the outfit that Clownsue worked at.
