Goliath Awaits1981

Peter Cabot:
Sir, the only thing that has happened down here is that you have been responsible for the death of innocent people.

John McKenzie:
Have I? [produces a top-secret packet intended for the President of the United States] These are the papers that your government wanted so badly. The real infamy is here... in these pages. Your presidential envoy was afraid that Britain would not be able to stand up against the German assault. So, in order not to take the risk that the Royal Navy would be lost to Germany, he recommended to your President that the United States Navy would open fire on the British ships. And sink them, regardless of any loss of life. The document, and the maps with it showing all the different locations of all the different British vessels wasn't delivered, as you know. And England survived. So who is the greater criminal? Why should I believe that life up there in your world is any better than life down here on Goliath?
