... Art Student Spies :What Did Israel Know in Advance of the 9/11 Attacks? '( 4 )Ketcham has revived the curious tale of the Mossad 'art students' operation in the USA at the time of 9/11, some of whose members were seen celebrating as the planes crashed into the Twin Towers. Matthiessen and the CIA 'The Burgeoning Rebirth of a Bygone Literary Star' by Celia McGee in The New York Times of 3 January 2007, is about a recent documentary film on the life of Harold L. Humes, founder (or co-founder) of The Paris Review. The article includes this paragraph about the novelist Peter Matthiessen: 'In the film ...

... Cuban thread, which has pretty much become the consensus view among JFK researchers; and he starts with the apparent advance knowledge of the plot of John Martino, a minor criminal and anti-Castro activist. He presents a selection of the known and reliable evidence to suggest that the anti-Castro Cubans – with organised crime and/or CIA links – planned to kill JFK, and leave a dead Oswald framed as a pro-Castro, communist assassin, triggering another US invasion of Cuba and scuppering JFK's plans to do a deal with Castro. This is terribly plausible, a good hypothesis, and Hancock handles the immensely detailed material very well; but the basic problem remains ...

... Times 29 December 2006 on a contingency paper by MI5, presented to the Joint Intelligence Committee on April 9 1976. That paper included this: `Throughout the seventies there has been a growth in the general public uneasiness about the current aims of government due primarily to the harm done to the moral standing of the western democracies by Watergate and CIA activity the ultra-left (sic) have been quick to capitalise on the discontent and sensationalised reports against the security establishment and in particular the police, the intelligence services, and the armed forces. ' Burns adds: `Together with a corresponding increase in the popularity of British fascists and quasi-fascist organisations, the paper predicts ...

... Look, says Aaronovitch: links to Thatcher, anti-EU, nation-staters, isn't this a familiar package? Right-wing nutters. Curiously Aaronovitch didn't refer explicitly to the most obvious thing about Laughland: he is anti-American; and anti-globalisation. But not from the left. His very interesting article on the CIA (and wider American) role in the politics of the Soviet bloc countries post 1991, 'The Technique of a coup d'etat', ends with this sentence: 'But, after Marshall's exposé of the reality behind the almost identical events in Serbia, there can be no doubt that the US take-over of Georgia is a textbook case ...

... told publicly for our entry to the common market was because our intelligence service had learned the Soviet Unions had plans to invade Western Europe and these would be carried out once the trade unions in Western Europe led by a Communist Fifth Column had fomented widespread strikes to prevent the invasion being resisted. ' Some years ago Body made claims about the CIA involvement in the campaign but, when I wrote to him, he had no evidence. He presents none here for this striking claim about – I presume – the actions of IRD, and my guess is he has no evidence of these 'briefings' either. (What would 'evidence' look like?)

... government in the courts. More successful examples which also illustrate litigation lobbying's increasing boundaries could be: British coroners taking on the American government vis-à -vis 'friendly fire' deaths in Iraq; Westminster's recently established All Party Rendition Group. The latter has agreed with human rights groups to use American laws 'to get Washington to reveal how many CIA flights carrying detainees landed in Britain. They are also planning to table an amendment to the civil aviation bill going through parliament, or the police bill . . . ' Government lobbying Government means different things to two of its constituents: the people and commerce. To put it simplistically: the citizen may note a policy change in the ...

... him.) At that time this man was working for the World Wildlife Fund, where he is now a major figure. Over the last 20 years there have been occasional stories in Private Eye speculating that the World Wildlife Fund was some kind of cover for intelligence personnel. This thought cropped up once again with the obituary of the former CIA officer Donald Aspinall Allan (Washington Post, 5 August 2006 ). Allan's career included spells at the New YorkTimes, Newsweek, the Reporter and the North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA), all known to be have been used as cover by the CIA. In 1983 Allan became director of information and education for the World Wildlife Fund ...

... ; disinformation, I-ops and bureaucratic rivalries are ignored. Intelligence and security organisations are no more or less likely to break the law than any other public bodies, they tell us. (Though how do they know?) All the tales of 'rogue elephants' told in the last twenty years are spurious. Their account of the CIA is wilfully inadequate, even for a three page summary. They describe the fund-ing of the Contras without mentioning drugs, even when the CIA itself has admitted getting permission from the US Attorney General to ignore cocaine dealing in return for donations to the Contras. You get the picture. The ISC has written eight reports since its ...
