I wonder if they could have taken out another sub in American waters? It's the sort of thing no one would talk about. I was wondering this morning when we'll start hunting N. Korean subs.
The article discusses deploying or collecting special forces and laying underwater cable. I'm far more willing to believe we're practicing the same skullduggery we always have. Fun fact: the scene that makes up the end of GI Jane? that's because with CORONA and HEXAGON our spy satellites had to push film canisters through re-entry in order for us to see the imagery and in the script, Demi Moore is in Libya picking up a stray film canister... having been dropped off the coast by a Trident submarine. I'd totally fly a pirate flag for that.
