... death of every soldier killed, in brutal front page attacks. The Sun's anti-Brown offensive was so vicious that Brown actually complained to Murdoch that the Sun was damaging the war effort in Afghanistan. In an unprecedented step, he arranged for Murdoch and Brooks 'to be given an off-the-record briefing by the then head of MI6, Sir John Scarlett..... Sir John warned them that the Taliban were using Sun stories as propaganda and that they were damaging British military morale'. Brooks apparently was having none of this, but Murdoch promised to tone the attacks down. It never happened. Getting Cameron into Downing Street took priority. The peculiar ...

... Oman) regarding leaks to the media of Scarlett's note to Alastair of 20th September 2002. He refers to MI5's analysis of the "45 minute report" and highlights the original circulation of the document to various departments. The usual suspects are there: SIS, MI5, GCHQ and MOD get between 7 copies for MI5 and 20 copies for MI6. But also listed are 32 (yes 32) copies for the DTI. Why? I wonder. Some kind of export initiative? ' Or the DTI is full of spooks under cover?

I invited him to correct any errors we had made but have heard nothing.) Fielding's account of McLean's life makes it plain that McLean was an MI6 officer for most, if not all, of the post-war period. If true, Fielding's claim above about Julian Amery is new.

... Miller's account is the voice of journalists who have worked in Northern Ireland. The second is related to the first. For all his deconstruction and demystification, Miller has not done enough to show the allegiance to the state among media personnel. Daphne Park, for example, of the BBC Board of Governors, is not described as former senior MI6 officer. Paul Wilkinson is frequently quoted, but there is nothing on his part in the disinformation campaign against Colin Wallace, discussed in Lobster 16 , which led, I am told, to his losing the job as ITN's 'consultant' on terrorism, etc. Journalists James Adams and Chris Ryder are treated as straightforward sources despite public knowledge ...
