If terrorists find successors of Berwick Witches Sea disturbing technology, mighty US and UK Navy might be sunk!? Provided that Qeen's unmistakable secret services doesn'y make mistakes. But, was't recent WMD attack on Iraq just intelligence service mistake? Well, how Mr Blair could know? Well, now all will know sea disturbing technology:
15 January 1591 Deposition of Geillis Duncan confirmed that a letter was sent to Janet Fairlie at Leith, that a cat was baptised and thrown in the sea to raise a storm.
Please note similarities and exactness of old and the new UK official intelligence techniques.
