... to), to emerge, born again, free of sanctions, as a responsible, respectable member of the international community, bla bla bla. And so the Islamic Fighting Group, our former enemy's enemy, is our enemy. Libya's new status as 'friend' is visible elsewhere. Con Coughlin, often a guide to the thinking within SIS, commented in The Sunday Telegraph, 'Ratcheting up to the next war' on 9 October, on the British policy of 'kow-towing to the Iranians'. Wrote Coughlin: 'As part of this policy, the British government took the shameful decision to drop its claim that the Iranians had masterminded the Lockerbie bombing...even though British ...

... exclusively of anti-communist activities.(70) IRD eventually had representatives in all British Embassies abroad. In the recollection of a former MI6 officer of the period, IRD was involved in 'some of the more dubious intelligence operations which characterised the early years of the cold war.'(71) Former Ambassador Hilary King was told by a former SIS officer who had worked in Germany after the war trying to estimate Soviet bloc tank strength, that IRD circulated a paper on the subject over-estimating that strength by a factor of 40.(72) When the SIS officer complained about the inaccuracy of the estimate he was told by an IRD official 'what does it matter old boy as long ...

... , I cannot see why anyone or any group would bother to kill Kelly. Cui bono? Norman Baker MP, I understand – I haven't read his book – concludes (his best guess) that he was 'suicided' by a pro-Saddam group. Did that ever make sense to you? I read recently somewhere that some Australian spooks thought SIS had done it. Why would they bother? Like the rest of the UK foreign policy establishment, SIS were against the war. Kelly was of relatively little consequence: the war was going to happen no matter what anyone said. Had Kelly called a press conference and told the world everything he knew, he could have embarrassed the ...

During my duties with MI5 I also maintained a very close personal and professional relationship with an officer from the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). Whilst a serving SIS officer (he) joined a private detective agency with which I was associated, and carried out private investigations of a covert nature. He also arranged for a number of very sensitive assignments to be passed to me through an internationally known security company based in London.

... , was being broadcast by everything from the Tory press to the activists with connections in the intelligence services and the military.(80) This is the background to the cries and alarums of 1974/5, the talk of military coups and the formation of semi-clandestine 'action groups' and militias by, inter alia, former Deputy Chief of SIS, the late George Kennedy Young, and the late David Stirling. The trade unions were at the heart of the subversive-hunters' theory, with the AEU the most important of them. When David Stirling's grandiose Better Britain-GB75 plans were 'blown' prematurely in 1974, he abandoned them and joined forces with TRUEMID, another group of anti-socialist former ...
