... 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 ...

Questions were asked in the House of Commons and much was made of their close relationship to the, then, unrecognised East German government. Spectator February 14 1976 NOTEBOOK While left-wing journals - doubtless innocently - have been helping assassination squads to identify CIA agents throughout the world, attention has been diverted from what the other side are up to over here. In fact, just four years and five months after the Conservative Government expelled 105 Soviet KGB and GRU (military intelligence) officers from Britain, the Russian spy network is back at full strength.

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. ...

... 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.

... 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 ...

... . 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 ...

... Doise has discovered that the affair developed because of French secret service attempts to disinform the Germans about the state of French military development. In other words, false documents were leaked to the Germans; and the authenticity of the disinformation was bolstered by charging Dreyfus with the leak! A modern myth?In a piece about the arrest of Soviet agent in the CIA, Rick Ames, the Sunday Telegraph, 27 February, 1994, said that Ames 'recruited Soviet agents, ruthlessly betraying at least 10, knowing they would be shot or, like Oleg Penkofsky, lowered slowly into a well stoked furnace while colleagues were forced to watch.

... giving evidence has been Ian Hurst,1 0 a former member of the British Army's Force Research Unit (FRU). Hurst's affidavit is an insider's guide to the work of the FRU and other elements in the state in Northern Ireland, and contains some interesting stories. Hurst talks about the difficulties involved when loyalist and republican paramilitary members became agents of the state. Operations get complex and thus more dangerous. To illustrate this Hurst gives this quote from (Lord) John Stevens who was in charge of three inquiries into collusion between the British Army, the Royal Ulster Constabulary and loyalist paramilitaries in the war with republicans.11 'There was the RUC, MI5 and the army doing ...
