New I was there when the 'frogs' bombed the Rainbow Warrior
so yup, it would not surprise me one iota that the French were trying to damage the Basques & made it look like a collusion between Al-Q & Basque seperatists.

The Basques of course want part of France for their independant country.

PS Re Rainbow Warrior (flagship of Greenpeace) we watched in amazement in NZ when the perps that sank her were caught red-handed then after conviction in NZ for bombing & manslaughter, were later transferred to 'jail' in French Polynesia after France pressured NZ Govt.

I would not object to getting the same deal they did.

New Re: Having been to French Polynesia before...
The amusing part of their 'jail' time was that within months, both Prieur & Marfat (the two convicted of the froggie team), were seen back in Paris. They acceted out a charade of being held on Hao island but they only went there for photo sessions to keep the Kiwi govt legally satisfied.

New Re: sigh,,,,, Generalissimo? pun?

Sorry Box, I shudda seen it coming :-)

Just goes to show how words can have such different meanings to different people depending on what is on their minds at the time.

Problem with Franco though was that the Basques fought on both sides of that conflagration (Basque suffering made famous by Dali's Guernica painting).

But why worry, your double-play has exposed who really dun it :-)
