It certainly does...

Here is the money quote:

"'You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent 
people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason 
was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask 
for greater security.'"

 From the BBC production, I think.

To return to GR, a quick look at the Wiki entry shows that the SOE was 
quite the interesting outfit all by itself. If I manage to keep up with 
the group read, I will try to keep an eye on this strand of the narrative.

And I agree with what has been said before: Pirate is one of the good guys.
