   And as for the guy who told the UK government broadcasting ministry (and   
   a major plank of the British brand, which works closely with SIS   
   worldwide) that James Andanson had told him in front of a group of   
   people that if his wife had an affair he'd top himself by burning   
   himself to death!   
      
   Did the BBC try to contact other members of the 'group' to comment? What   
   completely cackhanded disinformation! In fact, it doesn't really deserve   
   being called 'disinformation' in the first place. It reminds me of the   
   statement on behalf of 'Baroness' Butler-Sloss that the reason why the   
   press were going to be banned from preliminary hearings at the inquest   
   was that the room was too small to accommodate them!   
      
   Public-relations dudes must be cringing at this. Why such a crap job?   
      
   Can't the psy-ops people at SIS, e.g. at I/OPS, do better than this?   
   Yes, of course they can. So could loads of PR scum at various   
   private-sector agencies.   
      
   My guess at why such a crap job is as follows...   
      
   ...because officials, even public-relations ones, who are given direct   
   orders by the 'royal' family or 'palace' officials...tend to do what   
   they're bloody well told, even if they think it's all going to backfire.   
   Some clients they just can't tell to leave it to the 'professionals'!   
      
   Of course, one also has to recognise that no-one ever lost money by   
   underestimating the independence of thought of TV audiences...   
      
   I hope the widowed Elisabeth Andanson consults her lawyers! That guy was   
   very clearly implying that she was having an affair which drove her   
   husband to commit suicide.
