What a bunch of bunk. We weren't in their waters. They didn't "send 
someone out", they sent five high speed powerboats with full crews, and 
there were radio transmissions that the naval ship was going to be 
"blown up".

But then, I forget; there are some people that are bound and determined 
that no matter what this country does to defend itself, it's the wrong 
thing.
