How he was "detained" isn't clear, but it wouldn't be surprising if money, liquor or prostitutes were involved. Booze, broads or the "Big Deal" ($), right OS? |

| #2 Having just returned from the Baltic, I became interested in a story of the sinking of the Estonia 20 years ago this September. It has a similar "great spy intrigue" aspect, however with great loss of life: http://www.facts-are-facts.com/magazin/1-estonia.ihtml If anyone knows if a movie has ever been made of this please reply...They are still arguing about what happened 20 years on. |
