Kcat flashes in the news:
Angry Swedes call the Russians
LIARS. The Russkies claim the
Swedish plane shot first and
besides, they assert, it was over
Russian territory when the shoot
ing started.
Swedish authorities say it was
a Calalina flying boat and totally
unarmed so it COULDN'T have
started the shooting because it
didn't have anything to shoot with.
The Catalina's position, they add,
has been definitely established by
thorough investigation that leaves
not a shade of doubt that it was
over international waters when it
was shot down.
The Danes come into the picture.
In Copenhagen (Denmark's cap
ital) Admiral Quistcaard alerts
Danish airmen to SHOOT BACK

He adds that Danish military
units have had standing orders
since March to shoot back to kill,
without awaiting further orders, if
Soviet shins or planes fire on any
Danish unit.
It may be only coincidence, but
at least it is worth noting that since
March the Russians haven't done
any shooting at any Danish units.
