Industrial espionage aided by government is not meant to exist in liberal democracies; or, more to the point, amongst friends. According to Bamford, the industrial information that is picked up by the National Security Agency (NSA) is only […]
George Gregory Korkala was the ‘soldier’ in the activities of ‘lieutenant’ Frank Terpil and ‘leader’ Edwin Wilson.

It was condemned by various Liberal Democrat and Tory MPs, and even by the odd Labour MP. The government, however, defended it as a ‘good deal’ for the taxpayer. Indeed, Lord Drayson, […]
