    These are the place where they made the gadgets.

    The 007 factor
    To give agents an edge in combat SOE employed budding scientists to invent unique weapons of war.
    At The Frythe, a secluded house near Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire university graduates invented devilish devices such as the single-shot cigarette pistol and the Sleeping Beauty – a submersible canoe. SOE workshops also created carborundum – an abrasive grease when smeared on the right spot could bring a locomotive to an immediate standstill.
    In North London, The Thatched Barn, a former roadhouse, became the headquarters of the ingenious Camouflage Section run by film director Elder Wills. Here an army of ex-prop makers were put to work creating countless illusions out of papier maché or plaster – many of them deadly!
    One tree trunk mould might conceal radio equipment but another shaped like a piece of camel dung hid a booby trap that could blow the tyre off an enemy truck.
    Other branches of this backroom operation included the False Documents Section where agents collected their bogus identities and even a fashion company that outfitted agents with suits and dresses cut to the Continental style.

    In my post #205 I wrote.

    The 14th Dalai Lama. His Holiness is both the temporal and the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people.

    As China invaded Tibet, surely the Dalai Lama has the right to fight, to get back his own country.

    DL. is revered worldwide.
    OBL. was reviled worldwide.

    … and the Afgans etc, as the Americans (as the British had years ago, and Russians more recently) have gone into Afganistan. Let us not be too high and mighty here.
    Let us also not forget taht the Americans backed and trained the likes of Bin Laden in the first place.

    The Delai Lama isn’t revered worldwide, but is particularly beloved by the Americans, probaly because all they see is the spiritual crap.

    As a Norfolk dumpling, I just cannot see the relevance of this answer, as I only stated that the Dalai Lama has the right to fight to get back his own country, the same as anyone else who’s country has been invaded.
    As far as I know OBL was a Saudi national and I don’t think that he was fighting to rid his country of invaders.

    Fail to see anyone getting high and mighty about the whole issue.

    So following your logic, if the company that I worked for paid for me to train as a truck driver then a few years later, I purposely ran over people waiting in a bus queue, would it be the companies fault for training me?

    DL. is revered worldwide.
    OBL. was reviled worldwide.
    Thought that was a good saying did not think anyone would take it literally.

    As for spiritual crap it’s ok with me if it creates peace and harmony.

    Another thought.
    After leaving college in 1979, bin Laden arrived to Pakistan and joined Abdullah Azzam to take part in the Soviet war in Afghanistan. During Operation Cyclone from 1979 to 1989, the United States provided financial aid and weapons to the mujahideen leaders through Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Bin Laden met and built relations with Hamid Gul, who was a three star general in the Pakistani army and head of the ISI agency. Although the United States provided the money and weapons, the training of militant groups was entirely done by the Pakistani Armed Forces and the ISI.

    Did OBL know something which the ISI not want their own government to know?
