... . But that was 1977 and attacking the Agency was tolerated; and he was then a junior academic and now he's a professor. All the way through Jeffreys-Jones' book the question arises: is he lying or is he just ignorant? Has he managed not to notice the material on the CIA in Indonesia? Or is he suppressing it because it's too ugly? The same question arises with the Craddock book. Craddock was a British ambassador and chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). Despite its title, the book is Craddock's version of the Cold War interspersed with selections from JIC documents; and Craddock's version of the Cold War takes us back to the ...

Today, New Labour objections to the book would be more likely to centre on his failure to involve the private sector. 2 Frank Kitson, Bunch of Five, London 1977, p. 59. 3 For the suppression of the Mau Mau revolt see my British Counter-insurgency: From Palestine to Northern Ireland, London 2002. 4 Frank Kitson, Gangs and Counter-Gangs, London 1960.

... the statement "All crows are black". The contributors to this book are pointing out the white crows". Three conclusions follow from all this. Firstly, if you find an error, you can assume that someone is lying; even if the person passing on the error is sincere, somebody somewhere knows the truth and wants to suppress it. Secondly, in Kick's words, 'It's much easier to reveal a lie than to reveal the truth'; or as I put it, 'you don't need to have the whole picture to know when it's being distorted'. One white crow - one piece of evidence you believe to be true - is enough to expose a ...

Officials proposed a health campaign to persuade housewives to buy less butter. A government hospitality fund was used to entice supposedly independent-minded personalities to speak in favour of Europe. A fact sheet on sovereignty was suppressed rather than admit that Parliament would have to accept European regulations that conflicted with its own statutes. Officials were encouraged to spy on the Labour Party's plans to oppose the terms of entry and even drafted speeches for pro-European Labour frontbenchers to deliver at their party conference. The unit was told in September 1970 of its new duties in ...

... example. The simple fact is that the volume of gold mined over the ages is very much greater than the quantities allowed by any and all official statistics including, oddly enough, NATO. It is not as if the authorities are not cognisant of their rather remarkable understatements, but they have economic reasons why they wish to have this information suppressed. But it is not just governments who have a large grimy finger thrust into this very large non-existent pie. There are a number of additional interested parties, too. And agendas.

... get on with the election stuff, shall we? The election proper got off to a good start in mid-October when the 'defeated' Presidential candidate of 2000, Al Gore, returned, like Banquo's ghost, to warn about the forthcoming election. He told a meeting at Georgetown university: 'The widespread efforts by Bush's political allies to suppress voting have reached epidemic proportions. Some of the scandals of Florida four years ago are now being repeated in broad daylight even as we meet here today. It is love of power for its own sake that is the original sin of this presidency. ' But Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt exhibited the discreet charm of the right-winger ...

... converge, with, as we shall see, the 'third way' model, in a new political consensus where the political debate is largely about competing cultural values rather than control of the economy. A structure of 'liberal totalitarianism' thus creates a democracy of manipulative elites, administrative transmission belts, a regulated neo-liberal economy, and the suppression of serious cultural difference and dissent by exclusion without discrimination. In this context, the neo-conservatives are building a European base, the investigating judges are developing an international operating procedure and the traditional European Right is jettisoning its old guard but the key bridge between the three models is in the unlikely figure of centre-left leader, ...
