... Linda Melvern's obituary of him in The Independent, 6 November 2008. 'He commissioned an autobiographical account of my life "on the road to a doctorate" for which I was paid. But the actual goal was to recruit me as an informer concerning professors at Columbia, particularly Zbigniew Brzezinski, and my fellow students and their connections with the FBI and the CIA. When my suspicions were finally aroused...I returned the money and broke off contact. This ended my career as an informer, while the agent pocketed the money.' John J.

Despite being published in a British paper of record, it appears that no investigative journalists have chosen to pursue the British angle.

... : University of Massachusetts Press, 2008, p/b, $28.95 Of all the figures in the Anglo-American spy world that we have been made aware of in the last 40 years, James Jesus Angleton was the most glamorous: the chain-smoking, the orchid-growing, the poetry-writing here was the antithesis of the dull, one-dimensional plodders in the FBI (or, for that matter, most of the CIA's 'company men'). Or so reading books and watching movies about spies has told us. There have already been two books about Angleton (5) but, as Holzman notes, they were produced during the domestic 'spy wars' period after the crises and sackings of the ...

... yet further.'(15) Elsewhere, Dora Kostakopoulou claims that New Labour's response to post-9/11 terrorism evokes a 'siege mode of democracy' and examines in some detail Operation Kratos, the counter-terrorist strategy adopted by ACPO in 2002.(16) And although we've yet to experience a UK equivalent of the Patriot Act (allowing the FBI fairly unhindered access to library records), a recent survey carried out by CILIP (the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals) indicates that libraries are experiencing 'increased police and security services activity.'

Vallee (whose background was similar to Oswald's, including work at U2 bases in Japan) while driving a car whose registration was closed off by the FBI, was arrested by Chicago police who had strong intelligence connections. After Kennedy's trip was cancelled, U.S. Treasury agent Abraham Bolden, who questioned the parallels with the situation in Dallas, was persecuted and eventually jailed. Meanwhile, two snipers had been arrested, and three more sought, in Chicago; but no mention was made of ...

... Hop-sicker's attempts to weave the whole thing together is entertaining but no more convincing than any other attempt at producing what Tony Frewin once referred to as the Unified Field Theory of conspiracy. On Amazon.com's reviews of this book there are many raves; but continue on down through the second page and you come to a very destructive review by a former FBI agent, Delbert Hahn, who was interviewed by Hopsicker.

After 9-11 the American complicity with Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme became one of the dirty secrets which had to be kept out of the 9-11 inquiry. This material is one of the reasons that the testimony of former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, who listened to FBI wiretaps of the Khan network using Turkish intermediaries and American lobbyists and politicians in the network's continuing pursuit of nuclear technology, has been suppressed in the United States.(7) It also explains the persecution of Atif Amin, a UK customs official who was investigating the Pakistani nuclear trade.( ...

(London: Secker& Warburg, 1964) which was published before the Warren Report came out. Buchanan was criticising the 'findings' that had been leaked out by the FBI and others and putting the 'lone mad nut' thesis into (American) historical perspective. And what was David Lifton up to back then? And whither Thomas G. Buchanan? These are small cavils though and Kelin has done a remarkable job of research and writing.

... the far end of the spectrum, The Spectator has a disturbing account of David Shayler promoting his 9/11 Truth campaign in a Methodist church hall to an audience of about a dozen. The basic thrust of his theory is that the Twin Towers were brought down by 'Mossad secret agents working with a cabal of US arms manufacturers, the FBI, the CIA and blessing of the US government'. Fair enough, some might say. However, Shayler then claims that the planes involved in the attacks were 'missiles wrapped in holograms'. At this point the author puts forward a theory of his own. Could Shayler be an MI5 plant 'designed eventually to discredit the so-called 9 ...
