... enforce a non-compete covenant.( [5]) (I assume that Italy will not be able to recreate his Middle Eastern experience/expertise quickly and that rebuilding his team will take months, if not longer, not least because of poor morale. His death acts as a warning to all 'allied' public servants, their sources and agents. It also means that similar public servants may become risk averse if their governments' operational pursuits conflict with those of America. All of which adds up to 'perfect' persuasion.)( [6]) Additionally, it means that the US – possibly unable to 'grow' its own intelligence network organically – can stay ahead by ...

... deeply in Labour Party affairs.’ 4 1 It may even be more complex than this for there is evidence that the Labour Attaché posts have been used as cover by the CIA. Jonathan Kwitney of the Wall Street Journal tracked down one Paul Sakwa, who told him that he had been the case officer for Irving Brown, the most important CIA agent in the labour movement in Europe, handling Brown's budget of between $150,000 and $300,000 a year, between 1952 and 1954. From being Brown's case officer in Washington, Sakwa went on to a post under cover as the Assistant Labour Attaché at the 40 See Gaitskell Diary ed. Philip Williams, pp. ...

(p. 206) A little further on he adds: 'In November 1949 the Cominform began to issue urgent calls for vigilance against enemy agents, at a time when all internal political opposition had been liquidated and there was no sign of the spread of Titoism. Near-hysteria gripped Eastern Europe and alleged Western agents were uncovered by the hundreds.' The missing causal link for Aldrich is the scattering of covert operations run by the British in the Baltic and the Ukraine, most of ...

... century by supplying the names of thousands of Communist Party leaders to the Indonesian army, which hunted down the leftists and killed them, former U. S. diplomats say.' Perhaps 5,000 names were given to the military during the massacres in 1965 which left perhaps 250,000 dead. Somehow Kadane had persuaded a senior CIA agent in Indonesia and his diplomatic boss at the time to talk, on the record. The story was run, briefly, in the British serious press. A couple of months later Peter Dale Scott passed through Britain and rang me. I mentioned the Kadane piece, how interesting it was in the light of his essay some years before ...

... intelligence agencies, and the departments concerned with foreign affairs had intervened". (79) The key to this Allied protection of post-war Nazi networks, Stevenson shrewdly surmised, was the U.S. decision in 1945 to take over and subsidise the Nazi intelligence network of General Reinhard von Gehlen. Gehlen in turn helped place numerous former Nazis as his agents in other countries, some (like Barbie) as employees of import-export firms established by his own agency, others as local representatives of Krupp, Daimler-Benz and other large West German firms. The Gehlen network, financed by the CIA but not directly controlled by it, soon had agents employed in a number of activities in violation of U.S ...

In 1987 US agents began monitoring a heroin smuggling route from the Middle East to the United States, run by drug dealers linked to terrorists holding western hostages in Beirut.

His book and subsequent activity by CIA personnel in Malta, Cyprus and Germany have sought to establish the guilt of Libyan agents and to unpick the case against Talb. After lengthy sessions with CIA personnel, the Maltese shopkeeper who had previously recognised a photograph of Talb- a 35 year-old Palestinian- apparently changed his mind and fingered a Libyan airline official in his fifties. This identification, along with allegations- later disproved- that a Swiss-made timing device for the ...
