I didn't say it was proof either way, I don't think it is. You'd be stupid not to gather whatever Intel you can whenever you can. It is funny, (both ha ha and strange) that the Captain openly admits it on camera days before he is captured and the British Government denies it. Yet, you and I seem to agree that it either is or probably should be Standard Operating Procedure to gather what info you can regardless of which side of the border you are on.
