... on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction had been assembled (2) from open sources by Alistair Campbell's psy-ops unit at the Coalition Information Centre (CIC) in London. Good grief, I thought, Campbell is trying to treat the world's media as if they are supine British journalists! (3) That New Labour's chief spin-doctor had dropped his bosses in the shit was just too delicious. Secretary of State Colin Powell was at the Security Council of the UN in February to sell the US case for war. Before his presentation Powell said that the dossier of evidence against Iraq that he would present to the Security Council would be 'a straightforward, sober and compelling demonstration' that Baghdad ...

... . Fred Peart (Workington) – background in local government in the North East. The success of Cunningham Jnr (Jack), Booth and Peart in obtaining seats on the other side of the Pennines from the North East is striking. The account of how Jack Cunningham obtained Whitehaven is legendary: his father, Andrew Cunningham, was GMB boss in the North East, Chair of the Labour Party Northern Region and an Alderman in local government. He arranged the selection for his son who was an official for the same union and a councillor on the same council. These arrangements were only slightly dented by the events leading up to the conviction and imprisonment of Cunningham Snr, Poulson ...

... from elsewhere- e.g. in front of the car- would indicate a conspiracy, and conspiracy, I suggest, was acceptable to no-one. The six hours or so between the initial examination of the corpse at the hospital in Dallas and the beginning of the autopsy at Bethesda, is surely ample time for the SS, or their political bosses, to have decided that the autopsy was about to reveal a conspiracy which no-one wanted. The thing which intervened between Dallas and Bethesda was a political appreciation of the consequences of the event. For the SS are not stupid men. A conspiracy was dangerous because it was an unknown. (8) Which group? Right or left ...

... some of these experiments on humans, Frank Olsen began to show the signs of distress. As acting chief of the Special Operations Division for some months during 1952-53, Olsen had access to all information concerning the developments of the arsenal of toxic substances in the CIA.(12) After a trip to Paris and Norway, Olsen told his boss, Lt. Colonel Ruwet, that he was so unhappy that he would prefer to be discharged or fired to carrying on with his work. This led to a memo being issued within Fort Detrick initiating an investigation into 'a possible breach of security after a trip to Paris and Norway'.(13) Olsen knew too much. ...

... The Heritage Foundation and the Moon-owned Washington Times. Her essay on Mozambique, as well as part of the on-going attempts on the right to legitimise RENAMO, is also the springboard for a sustained attack on the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. She offers the now familiar hard-right American position: all the armies currently being run by the CIA/BOSS/the Israeli state- all the 'contras'- are "genuine national liberation movements which are already pro-Western" and should, therefore, be supported. It's the dream of 'roll-back' in the Third World. The British state and to a lesser extent the Reagan Administration- certainly the State Department- are wilfully backing the wrong horses ...

... headquarters. He was awoken later that night in the early morning hours for an impromptu meeting. The MI6 officer warned him that he was in immediate danger. Amin dismissed these concerns and insisted that he could continue the investigation, relying on the local British embassy for security if need be. The following evening he received a call from his boss, Mickey Bispham. He was ordered to return to London immediately. Amin was thereafter almost taken back to square one. The only hard evidence he had to rely on had already been recovered in the raid on Siddiqui. While it did seem there was a credible threat to Amin (and possibly his family) from the Khan network ...

... about Wallace.) What is interesting in retrospect is not that Wallace was right and telling the truth-- so far Wallace has always told the truth, to my knowledge, though perhaps not all of the truth all at once, for tactical reasons-- but the way the Newsnight people reacted to our suggestion about one of their bosses. Their response was comical, really. It was then only just over a year since there had been several weeks of intense media interest in the revelation that the BBC actually had its own in-house MI5 office vetting BBC employees (still there, as far as I know)-- prima facie evidence that, au contraire, the ...

... a young boy. Ferrie was also a rabid anti-communist with good connections amongst the exiled anti-Castro Cubans who were then nearly as numerous in New Orleans as they were in Florida. He had probably worked for the CIA in some covert capacity, and on 22nd November 1963 had been in a New Orleans courtroom with Carlos Marcello, the Louisiana mafia boss, for whom he was working as a private investigator. (It was widely believed that Ferrie had flown Marcello back from Mexico after Bobby Kennedy had him kidnapped and illegally deported.) Ferrie had also worked for Guy Bannister, and had earlier run the Civil Air Patrol unit the teenage Lee Harvey Oswald had joined. On 22nd February ...
