The Home Affairs Committee asked to question the head of MI5; the Home Secretary, Teresa May, duly refused on the grounds that his appearance would 'duplicate' the existing oversight provided by the Intelligence and Security Committee. Thus the beauty of the ISC from the state's perspective: it provides the appearance of accountability and scrutiny while actually providing neither. Its members are appointed by the prime minister ( ...

... it up for the paper -- the traditional role of the British 'defence correspondents', famously the captives of their Whitehall sources. In fact this is more interesting than I expected. In this instance Adams has persuaded some of the big cheeses from the CIA and the Russian intelligence service to talk to him, as well as SIS and MI5, and the result is a kind of survey of the new world disorder. I'm not very interested in, or knowledgeable about, the current state of the CIA or the Russian service, and skipped through most of that. It might be true; it might all be complete baloney -- and I wouldn't know the difference. ...

... David Teacher quoted from Dillon's introduction: 'In the late 1960s and early 1970s, while the conventional forces of government were openly combating terrorism in Ireland, other agencies within the intelligence community in the United Kingdom believed that unorthodox methods and techniques were required in the war. The intervention of these groupings, which included Special Branch, military intelligence, MI5 and MI6, was uncoordinated, Much has been written about that period, some of it honest journalism, but most of it propaganda inspired by the terrorists and their supporters....

Evans knew MI5 people and got material from them. He also got material from IRD (unidentified by Evans) but these IRD briefings were 'too right-wing' to be used. Then MI5 tried to recruit him as an informant and he declined the offer. By so doing he branded himself unreliable and MI5 began investigating him. Few of these ...

... classes. (In fact, perhaps least among the upper classes, so long as they weren't expected to spy on each other.) That's partly why, when British governments have felt the need to spy on others, and on their own people, they have tried to keep the very fact of their doing so secret – SIS, MI5 and GCHQ didn't officially exist until 1989. By contrast, the CIA was set up by Congress, and has always been – formally at least – accountable to it. Britain came round to the same position eventually, but imperfectly, and only when forced to by the European Court of Human Rights. In other ways, however, ...

Was he, I thought, one of the correspondents recruited by MI5 in the big F branch expansion circa 1973-5 ? Did that explain all the disinformation run through the Sunday Times by James Adams, for example? Apparently not. I wrote to Mr Neil and he replied that he was 'never approached' by MI5.
