It wouldn't be the first time that an Intelligence Service targeted a Head of State for assassination. The CIA has a long record of trying to bump off various South American Heads of State. The difference is that these acts are usually sanctioned at the highest level (whilst of course maintaining total deniability), whilst here Harry actually goes against the government's orders to do so. Luckily he was clever enough to record the Foreign Secretary's little diatribe, otherwise they may well have spent time in jail.

You have some serious eagle eyes TL, I didn't even notice the wedding ring on Malcolm, or the clothes thing.
