	Since my first article on the airport in Grenada and the documentation
of other instances when the British have supplied our enemies with weapons
against us another item has come to my attention.
	A recently declassified document reveals the fact that in 1946 the
British government allowed Rolls Royce to sell jet engines to the Soviet Union.
This was done in spite of objections from the U.S. government which was told
that the engines were obsolete. Later during the Korean War these same jet
engines turned up in Mig-15 fighter aircraft which were used with devastating
effectiveness against UN forces there.
	Two people who criticized my earlier article ariel!kdc (Keith) and
cbosgd!mark take issue with my "style" or state that I used "innuendo" and
that my article showed "prejudice". How can I be accused of using innuendo
when I've stated the FACTS plainly and without reservation? I ask my critics
can you present any FACTS to support your contentions as I have done? All of
this merely amounts to arm-waving and name-calling and does not begin to
address a single one of the serious matters I raised.
	I am still waiting for someone to challenge the VERIFIABLE FACTS I
presented.
