en clair
In plain language, that is, not in code or cypher. Though usually just the normal way of sending non-sensitive messages, communications are sometimes sent uncyphered in the expectation that they will be intercepted. For example, during tense Anglo-Ottoman negotiations over the disputed Aden frontier in 1902, the British ambassador in Istanbul asked that an order should be sent en clair to HMS Harrier, instructing the warship to remain at Hodeidah for the present. This was clearly envisaged as an unprovocative means of threatening the sultan with force. |
