There have been some changes- names altered- since the newspaper versions; and I am told that the original hardback version is slightly different though I have not been told in which ways. Notwithstanding all that, here are the bits and pieces I found of most interest on reading the book version. In one section pp.48-49 (which also appeared in the Sunday Times on 4 ...

(I seem to remember that while a correspondent in Washington in the 1970s he had his phone tapped by the Nixon White House.) Tomlinson 1 The Richard Tomlinson affair has provided a number of insights. SIS officer Tomlinson was sacked- or, on some accounts, not retained after a 4 year probationary period. He was refused permission by then Foreign Secretary Rifkind to take his sacking to an industrial tribunal, and had his appeal against dismissal rejected by the chairman of the ...

... wasn't an accident- warrants a whole article to itself.(6) At this stage it is probably more useful to examine the circumstances of the crash and the rumours surrounding it. The Tunnel The crash occurred in an area where the chances of witnesses being present were minimised- a tunnel. According to the former MI6 officer, Richard Tomlinson, this is'...a perfect place for an assassination, with fewer witnesses. The Paris tunnel is also ideal because there are no crash rails along the central pillars, so it's a death trap.'(7) The most direct route from the Ritz Hotel to Dodi's apartment at Rue Arsene-Houssaye would have been through the Place ...

... reported that 'the pivot of Living Marxism's activities in the mainstream is...the Economist Intelligence Unit'. Would a reader care to offer an interpretation of this which does not conclude that LM is some kind of front for the British state? (Guardian G2 15 March 2000) I opener The lasting legacy of the MI6 officer Richard Tomlinson to our understanding of the way MI6 works may be his comments on 6's Information Operations (I /Ops). There was a belter of an example in the Sunday Telegraph 26 March where Alan Judd (aka [former?] MI6 officer Alan Petty) tried to persuade us that we should not reveal the identity of intelligence officers ...

... the Net in PDF form (see Terry Hanstock's 'Re:' in this issue), is worth looking at. For the student of the British state there are some interesting things in this. In particular there is the curious business of the Met team getting access to MI6's data bases to research the various claims by former MI6 officer Richard Tomlinson that MI6 were involved. The nominated Operation Paget officers interviewed SIS personnel or examined databases and documentation for a total of 18 working days over a period of two months.' (p.753) This must be the first time that outsiders have been allowed to do this; and whether the process was real or managed by SIS, its ...

While the ISC were being invited to look at Mitrokhin and the way he was handled by MI6, messrs Shayler and Tomlinson, the two most important defectors from the British security agencies since Philby, were in exile in one case and in jail in the other. While Shayler was sitting in a French jail the House of Commons had its first debate on the work of the ISC which had produced its first report that summer: neither report nor debate mentioned ...

... Serbian media of Anthony Monckton, a senior SIS officer, who, with two others, was recalled to the UK. The striking thing about this is the fact that Monckton had been identified, 'blown', in 1999 in the notorious list of SIS officers which appeared on the Internet and was attributed to the former SIS officer, Richard Tomlinson. (Tomlinson denied authorship but most commentators didn't believe him. I don't know.)( 3) 'The best fake Maoists'In October Radio Netherlands reported on the memoirs of a former member the Dutch security service (BVD), Frits Hoekstra.

'French intelligence would never pay him that sort of an amount of money.'(20) He also claimed that he had seen 'documents and evidence' proving that Henri Paul was 'a paid informant for ...

I'm not saying that he isn't a spy, but I think it's now very difficult for me to explain to Portuguese readers that he came to Oporto in a KGB training mission as it was said in court in November 1993.... And I recall that the ex-MI6 officer, Richard Tomlinson saw an MI5 report on the case which concluded that Mr. Smith had not given any important or damaging information to Victor Oschenko. Tomlinson said: 'I was therefore very surprised when I learnt of MI5's claims at Mr. Smith's trial of the extent of the damage allegedly caused by him, and the extraordinary sentence which he subsequently received ...
