- Description
In six frames the letters 'SAS' are shown as large stencils. Someone tries to figure out whether he is dealing with the SAS which is 'neither confirmed or denied'. 'SAS' looks the same back to front and if you rearrange the letters you get 'ASS' which gives a message, then there is a black frame and so camouflage is suspected and so it must be the SAS - 'We can neither confirm or deny'. A second version has the words in the blacked-out frame 'Ahh... all black out... there's a clue' and the last frame has text reading 'Trying to conceal the typeface eh?.. it's still the SAS' above the letters 'SAS' which are scribbled over in order to hide them. Context - New Zealand troops are being called into action more frequently as the "summer fighting season" continues in Afghanistan, Prime Minister John Key says. New Zealand SAS members troops were among those to respond yesterday to an attack in Kabul, in which Jan Mohammad Khan (an adviser to President Karzai) and Hasham Atanwal were killed. The PM has revealed the SAS wants its mission extended yet again. This incident will elevate the elite force's pull-out in March 2012 higher on John Key's Washington agenda this week.
