The first issue was marred somewhat by very poor proof-reading - a fault which will be corrected in succeeding issues by Wright. This is very much Agee country anti-CIA, naming names etc.. The first issue of the Study Group on Intelligence Newsletter has appeared. This 'Study Group' is a group of British academics working in spook country, and how widely they are willing to release their newsletter is unclear. The first issue is rather good, containing a survey of British courses which include an intelligence component, a list of forthcoming conferences and seminars on the subject, a ...

... does it matter that we have a list of MI6 names attached to countries? In 1985 Steve Dorril's working out which diplomats were MI6 officers under very light diplomatic cover seemed interesting and publishing the names seemed to be some kind of act against the-powers-that-be. But in 1985 there was very little information available about the intelligence services, and every scrap seemed significant. These days, if you want them, you can receive e-mail bulletins with more information about the world's intelligence services though, admittedly relatively little about the UK than one person could synthesise working full-time. The issue with the security and intelligence services isn't that we don't know their ...

... , as provided for in Section 28(1 ) of the Act. Thus, if it were to be the case that we held any data regarding you, the Data Protection Act would not confer a right of access. This policy is consistent with the policy of not disclosing information about data held on individuals by all the security and intelligence agencies for the purpose of their statutory functions. I would point out that a right of appeal exists under section 28 of the Act. The section provides that the exemption described above can be confirmed by a certificate signed by a Minister of the Crown who is a member of the cabinet, or the Attorney General. Any person directly ...

... (c ) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 51) Summer 2006 Last | Contents | Next Issue 51 Historical Notes Scott Newton James Jesus Angleton and the 'Third Way'The CIA counter-intelligence expert James Angleton has for years been regarded as one of the keenest of cold warriors, who turned the CIA inside out in the search for Soviet 'moles' and ultimately had to be retired to prevent further damage to the Agency. But interesting current research shows that Angleton's politics were by no means those of the conventional anti-Communist: he appears to have been a man of convictions but these were not necessarily those of modern capitalism. These reflections ...

... American-led international security apparatus -- the 'octopus' -- has become. From the start there have been many awkward and unanswered questions about the Lockerbie affair. Why were the widely-signalled warnings of the possibility of a bomb being placed on a Pan-Am flight from Frankfurt ignored? Why was there an immediate and aggressive intelligence operation at Lockerbie after the crash? When the CIA's presence was reported on Radio Forth by David Johnson (author of Lockerbie: the Real Story), why was he threatened with legal sanctions unless he revealed his sources? Why was the first body count and tagging process, conducted largely by Dr David Fieldhouse, set aside and then ...

... of names on the list escaped.(1 ) This Regulation was only invoked against known Fifth Columnists and Fascists. The individuals referred to here must therefore be only the tip of an iceberg whose full extent would reveal a very considerable network, or networks, of bankers, industrialists, landowners, service officers, members of the security and intelligence establishment, and politicians. Some of these were genuinely pro-Nazi, many more were committed to Anglo-German detente so that the wealth of the country would not be dissipated in war, leading to the collapse of the Empire and the triumph of socialism at home and Bolshevism abroad. This, after all, had been the ...

... publishing a poetry magazine, and studying a particular kind of literary theory, the New Criticism, which teaches the adept how to read the layers of meaning in a text. So here is one the author's theses: the skills Angleton acquired analysing poetry were transferred, during WW2, into the intense study of a different set of texts – intelligence reports. Angleton's office at CIA HQ, desk piled high with file folders, sounds just like that of a particular kind of academic. One of the author's other themes is that Angleton was a member of a particular social and class milieu, which ran America during and after WW2 and, without much time spent on self-reflection ...

"That the surveillance of the Columbia Plaza (site of the call-girl ring - RR) and the DNC was an intelligence operation mounted by the CIA is demonstrated by a long chain of evidence. That chain includes McCord's secret relationship to Hunt, the clandestine relationship of both men to the Office of Security, the Office of Security's use of prostitutes in the past, the CIA's continued assistance to Hunt long after the August 17 "cutoff", the circumstances ...

... of the island's senior Red Cross representative, the person who negotiated the release of hostages after the Speight coup, and was thought to have learned too much about the mechanisms behind the coup. The combination of the lack of a security service with a corrupt police force left the Fijian government with little chance of learning about the activities of foreign intelligence services in Fiji. Which possibly 'kinda delighted' the CIA. The situation at the moment is that with the Fijian Council of Chiefs (a traditionalist body) permanently enshrined, Fiji is leaning towards a full return to the Commonwealth, complete with a Governor-General or equivalent. In a political jam, and as happened with Gough ...
