| 1411392 | 2015-11-15 07:32:00 | Lest we forget: Opération Satanique The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, codenamed Opération Satanique, was an operation by the "action" branch of the French foreign intelligence services, the Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (DGSE), carried out on 10 July 1985. During the operation, two operatives sank the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, the Rainbow Warrior in the port of Auckland, New Zealand on its way to a protest against a planned French nuclear test in Moruroa. Fernando Pereira, a photographer, drowned on the sinking ship. France initially denied responsibility, but two French agents were captured by New Zealand Police and charged with arson, conspiracy to commit arson, willful damage, and murder. As the truth came out, the scandal resulted in the resignation of the French Defence Minister Charles Hernu. As part of a plea bargain, the two agents pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to ten years in prison, but in fact spent just over two years confined to the French island of Hao before being freed by their government in breach of its treaty obligation. Not to detract in any way from the horrors of the last 48 hours, but France has always needed to get its own house in order. Its own foreign policies have mostly been suspect, and maybe just maybe, has resulted in its being targeted in this manner. |

| 1411394 | 2015-11-15 07:38:00 | The Kalashnikov is not French, is it? :( I didn't say it was, but France is one of many countries who sell arms, & don't advertise it. It is a big money business. PJ |

| 1411398 | 2015-11-15 10:24:00 | France, America, Britain have all been dealing in arms for years and years now it is coming back to bite them in the bum, and silly American policy in the Middle East in general and Iraq in particular has led directly to the current refugee crisis in Europe, all those fleeing the Middle East should be sent to America to set up new lives over there since it is America's foreign policy which has led to the present disaster in the Middle East, not that it hasn't always been a Gordian Knot however. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1411399 | 2015-11-15 18:53:00 | it hasn't always been a Gordian Knot however. I'd put American foreign policy as having resulted more akin to Sisyphus :( |
