As you've likely heard by now, the Agency is mounting a surge particularly directed at the UN Security Council (UNSC) members (minus US and GBR of course)

This phraseology is totally bogus.

Laughably so. And isn't this usage of 'surge' British? ( along with the '-ise' endings cited by another contributor ) ... not that I know anything about it, but sheesh.

"As you've likely heard by now" ... now that's funny.

Here's another secret communication I intercepted:

"Request all ops acknowledge visual acquistion under crepuscular viewing conditions of target last observed in dark phase transition. Note macroscopic striations and luminous stellations of said target intermittently visible under conditions of belligerent engagement due to transient optical emission of incendiary devices. Morale considerably enhanced. Vital to determine persistence of target emblematic of regional habitation by intrepid and unconstrained individuals. - Reply code only"

Do you mean to suggest that U.S. bureaucrats do not speak and write like English public school twits trying (lamely) to imitate a U.S. bureaucrat? I mean they all read P. G. Wodehouse and the Guardian, don't they? I suspect John Le Carré is the source of this drivel.
