... 1963-79 (1980). A spook joke (and a good one, at that)Many prisoners do not fare too well in the hands of Shin Bet, an [Israeli] agency with a reputation for physically abusing suspects, especially Arabs, to obtain confessions. A joke that made the rounds told of a competition between agents from the CIA, the Soviet KGB and the Shin Bet to see who could most quickly a deer in the wild. The CIA agent entered the forest and returned three days later with a deer on a leash. The KGB agent came back after two days carrying bloody pieces of a dismembered deer.

This didn't go down very well at all. Anyway, BOSS came up with a great gimmick. They put the rumour our to their secret agents (dozens of them being journalists in South Africa and elsewhere) that not to worry, Gordon is still a loyal BOSS agent. Ignore his book, its just a cunning cover for something else he's doing. Now you have to give credit where credit is due. BOSS deserves a pat on the back for that brilliant disinformer. ...

... . In other respects the book can be criticized. As a journalist trained to write compact stories, he is stronger on street and court detail than on the bureaucratic complexities of Washington. Subtle arguments can become telescoped into punchy summaries that are sometimes oversimplified. Webb is most controversial when implicating the CIA, relying heavily on slippery phrases like 'CIA agent'. To him it is important that in December 1981 a 'CIA agent', Contra commander Enrique Bermudez, 'had given the goddamned order' to Meneses and Blandon to begin trafficking in support of the Contras. In the larger context of such a powerful book, this seems likely to generate needless quibbles, and remains a side issue ...

... The DGSE, it is true, has not had a lot of success in keeping its activities secret. In March 1987 lawyer Jean-Paul Mazurier, who represented 'public enemy No I', Georges Abdallah, and who served as a communications channel between the imprisoned FARL leader and his lieutenants, revealed that he had been a salaried DGSE agent since 1984 and had been regularly informing the DGSE of FARL's exchanges. As if this were not all, Mazurier revealed that in the secret service war between the DGSE and the internal security agency, Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire (DST), the DGSE was systematically depriving the DST of information gained (on home ground) from ...

Disinfo: an oldie but a goody In Richard Belfield's Terminate with Extreme Prejudice (London: Robinson, 2005) there are two pages about the late Lord Mountbatten, recycling the claims of some on the right that he was a Soviet agent (without any evidence) and there is this: 'Many within British intelligence circles knew him as a visitor to Kincora, a boy's home used by the paedophile and gay members of the Protestant Order [sic], civil servants and intelligence officers.

... first mention on page 174. Turning his back on his excellent earlier work on this case -- I am indebted to him for much of the story so far -- Leppard decided to embrace the new Langley line. 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 ...

Or, it occurred to me, perhaps some other original film created and altered while the 'other' Zapruder footage was being moved around Dallas. Or, it also occurred to me, that a CIA agent posing as a Secret Service agent acting as a delivery boy might not have known or cared about the difference between 'developed' and 'printed'. After examining all these conundrums, however, suffice it to say that regardless of how and by whom the Zapruder film may or may not have been altered, what was left was still compelling ...

The conversation was supposedly concerned with Fiji Army forces on UN peace-keeping operations in Lebanon. There have been many independent reports of CIA officers/agents in Suva at the time of the coup. David Robie (New Zealand Outlook July 1987, p43) adds another.
