You Can’t Sink a Rainbow

There are spies and then there are spies. Good spies covertly do their business and you never know they did it. Bad spies, and apparently French spies, blow up famous Greenpeace boats.

Major Alain Mafart and Captain Dominique Prieur, French agents, sunk the docked boat Rainbow Warrior because it was protesting French nuclear testing.

To review:

1) The French

2) “Rainbow Warrior”

3) Blowing up a ship to avoid bad PR, thus earning yourself more bad PR.
