... Megrahi go back to Libya, pretending that he is 'serving his sentence' there. Hey Joe In September the US State Department put out a briefing, 'How to Identify Misinformation'. Before 1990 such a document would have been about Soviet disinformation campaigns; and this one begins with some well known examples of Soviet disinformation before proceeding to attack conspiracy theories. It names only three current sources of conspiracy theories: the two websites, Rense.com and Conspiracy Planet, and 'Australian private investigator Joe Vialls, who died in 2005'. Thus I learned that Joe Vialls had died. Vialls first hove into view in a curious epilogue to the Tony Collins book on the apparently mysterious ...

... and reviewed the options available to them. 'The problem has arisen because of fundamental ideological differences between CFB/IFF/ISHR [International Society for Human Rights] and Western Goals. Whilst the former generally takes a very libertarian line on most issues, Western Goals seems increasingly obsessed with the ideas of racial superiority, a strong state and Jewish conspiracies. The questions is therefore whether we should respond and, if so, how far do we go? The following options are available: completely ignore Western Goals in the hope that this activity will subside. This seems unlikely. Monitor its activities and even infiltrate an activist into the organisation. This is ready to start. Respond directly ...

But is the document genuine? We will probably never know: the CIA certainly won't confirm it. My guess is that it isn't, that it is disinformation; that someone spotted the redacted section in the original report and realised they could 1 At <http://www.foia.cia. ...

Not unlike Undercover are Back Channels and Paranoia.

This contains a number of potentially interesting articles -- 'FDR's spies', 'JFK and the French Connection', 'Top Hat and Fedora' -- for example, which are not treated in enough detail.
