Quote --- "France's former ambassador to the US has criticized the ousted British Ambassador, saying he should have known 'nothing would remain secret.'
Gerard Araud, who stepped down earlier this year, said he dispatched similar memos to Sir Kim Darroch's, who resigned on Wednesday, but 'sent them in a most confidential manner.'". SNIP" Araud told the New York Times: 'Yes, yes, everyone does [send cables like that]. But fortunately I knew that nothing would remain secret, so I sent them in a most confidential manner.'" --- close_quote.

Thanks for the tip. I knew the book by the title, not the author. Had to look him up. From his quotes I gather his books might be fun. I'll take out a copy from the library to find out.
