Grammar
under any circumstances whatever
Regarding the following passage:
“With regard to unconditional surrender … we are unable to consent to it under any circumstances whatever (sic),” Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo was quoted in the decrypted cable memo as telling Ambassador Naotake Sato in Moscow.
Why did the author put the "sic" at the end of the quote? Is there any grammatical mistake in Mr. Togo's remark?
