Britain
2nd set of highly classified documents left on UK train

Just how badly does Gordon Brown and his fellow travellers in Britain want to lose the war on terror?

#8  I'm thinking this is a deliberate plant. Whether genuine or not remains to be seen. Maybe the MI-6 is trying to tell the British people something that they can't because their leaders won't let them.

#7  I think Stalin said it before Goldfinger ;-)

#6  But who would the enemy be?

#5  Remember the Goldfinger saying, "Once is an accident, Twice is a coincidence, but three times is enemy action" Look for a third such "Incidence".

#4  I smell something "fishy" here. Two sets of documents and both sets turned in to media organizations rather than being returned to the authorities. This is all too coincidental to be accidental in my opinion.

While some British troops are engaged in the War, everything I read leads me to believe Britain is not. In fact, I believe Britain is lost. We will know for certain at Elizabeth's succession, which, fortunately may be decades off.

#2  Sometime in the spring of 1944, a British staff officer left an outline of the Operation Overlord plans on a London cab. The patriotic cabbie turned them in.
Since this was the UK and not Stalinist Russia, the officer was not shot out of hand. He ceased to be a staff officer, however, or indeed an officer of any kind.

#1  A little loose aren't they? Whatever happened to "Loose lips sink ships" mentality in wartime?
