Talk:Directorate-General for External Security

message: Thanks for corrections Lapsed Pacificst and Rama.  May need to keep an eye on this entry in case anyone else tries to edit Operation Satanic out of the history books.  Though in all fairness to the DGSE it would be good if some history of their other operations which were not murderous blunders made its way on to this page - unfortunately I don't really have the expertise to help :-).
: Well, chances are that the "famous operations" of any service which attempts to keep them secret will be blunders :p
: By the way, an interesting photograph here: . Too bad that the French government does not put its works in the Public Domain like the c US :( Rama 20:35, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I moved the "Operation SATANIC" part to a spin-off article Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, because the proportion of the DGSE article devoted to this was becoming a little bit large, and I think that this will allow developping details of the sinking without concerns about taking the article off balance.
I hope that the name fits; I hesitated a little bit with "Sabotage of the Rainbow Warrior", and "Operation SATANIC" (this last name had the advantage of not required italics for the name of the ship, but was a little bit too technical... start by calling things by their codenames, and you end up having things like "Operation Just Cause", "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and stuff like that :p ).

thread_title:  Operation SATANIC 

message: I agree with the spin off article idea, though note there is a separate page for the Rainbow Warrior itself.  
I have however expanded the Operation Satanic comment to 4 lines.  without labelling it a crime, or terrorist act, I have also, through the technically accurate term 'murder' attempted to give some feeling of the moral revulsion those outside France feel about this unfortunate episode.
: This event is regarded as a complete disaster and an instance of criminal incompetence in France as well. Rama 06:54, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rainbow Warrior 

message: There is increasing variance between the English and French language versions of this article.  Any one's French good enough to drag the worthwhile material from the French site, and translate some of the English language stuff about Operation Satanic for them? USER:Winstonwolfe
:Yup, I've already started working on it ;-) --Ludvig 01:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: We have this thing with the equity-[Acting Union]-& support-for-terror-trees; "OH"; like say, "Spooks" cast; younger types; all getting "Married", to one and another; so they can not be called against one another, in a court of law; for crimes against the state. Safety in numbers; "Insurance"; ""AXA"; Finsbury Park"; "London".
When "I" tried to tell the pro terror types, young impressionable uni students; "Look, this does not help your loved ones"; "I ment; look, you know what you are doing; so stop". ""I"; did not mean, all get married to one another; so there is nothing the lawful can do but, stand by; & watch, as the "Fencers", come over, "The North Sea". The UK; is over & out; because the celebs are all 100% pro terror; & UK public, love their celebs; end of story. Just do what you can.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.83.246 (talk) 23:26, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "British & French, ""G-2"; Relations"

message: Hello all. I just moved the page, per WP:UE, which states that English should be used for article titles. Remember, this is the en.Wiki, not the fr.Wiki, and we are also not writing for specialists, we are writing to educate the average reader, who likely doesn't know French.
