'�AMERICA is to award the Congressional Medal of Honour, the equivalent of the Victoria Cross, to a British Special Boat Service commando who led the rescue of a CIA officer from an Afghan prison revolt.' This is interesting because the UK government tends not to award gongs to special forces who survive their heroism because of security concerns. 'The eagerness of the Americans to recognise the courage of the NCO contrasts with suspicion within the regiment that two SAS soldiers being considered for VCs for an attack on the al-Qa'eda cave complex will not get them.' Or something like that... -- William T Goodall [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk
