Being of a suspicious mind I continue to wonder if these two incidents are related? The Russian aircraft carrier and associated warships were traveling from exercises in the Med back to their home base and therefore clearly had (or were?) sailing north along the French coast and the Bay of Biscay. The Russians haven't admitted that they were responsible for the oil spill but simply admit there is one.
Meanwhile, it is curious that the apparent collision of British and French nuclear submarines occurred, we are told, in the Bay of Biscay area and news of the event broke on the same day (although attributed to a week or more earlier - if you believe that) as news of the Russian warship oil spill.
Since it would be standard practice for a quiet sub to dog a Russian aircraft carrier battle group and since the battle group was sailing off the French and British coasts, common sense dictates that these two subs may well have been following the Russians.
The question I have, therefore, is whether the oil spill is actually a "bunkering" oil spill or something more sinister?

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
