Files on the computer stolen from an MI5 intelligence official in Paddington Station on 4 March 2000 "were encrypted to one of the highest government levels and intelligences chief are understood to be confident that the information cannot be accessed."

"Kyle 'Dusty' Foggo, who resigned this week as the No. 3 official in the CIA, [on 10 May 2006] denied through his lawyer any improper relationship with Brent R. Wilkes, a defense contractor at the center of a congressional bribery scandal. The FBI and the CIA's inspector general have been investigating whether Foggo steered contracts to Wilkes while he served in Frankfurt, Germany, in the years before being named the agency's executive director in late 2004."

Articles from the Agency's Internal Journal, 1955-1992, ed. H. Bradford
Westerfield, 194-203. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1995.
Babcock's focus is on the "systematic collection of consumer feedback" by the DDO's Evaluation Group, "a direct staff element of the Deputy Director for Operations."
Westerfield's headnote in the Yale collection, "In this article, the Directorate of Operations pats itself on the back...," may be off the mark, Babcock may have been writing from the vantage point of the Intelligence Community Staff, not the DO.

W.W. Rostow, "The Beginnings of Air Targeting," Studies in Intelligence 7, no. 1 (Winter 1963): A1-A24, A12, comments that "[i]ntelligence on the [German] aircraft industry was sharpened and infused with a special vitality by the fact that photographic interpretation both of aircraft types and of the aircraft industry was in the hands of Flight Officer Constance Babbington-Smith at the Central Interpretation Unit. From 1941 to the end of the war she brought craftsmanship, enthusiasm, and a creative imagination to the anlysis."
Chambers notes that Air Spy represents the "memoirs of a photointerpreter who made valuable contributions in watching the development of the V-weapons."
To Constantinides, the subject matter covered is not as broad as the subtitle implies; rather, the work is a "history of Allied photo reconnaissance and interpretation in Europe and the Mediterranean, largely from the British vantage point."
Pforzheimer evaluates the book as "[v]aluable for readers interested in this subject and period."

According to a publisher's note, this edited work covers the "Cold War, the post-Cold War interval of the 1990s, and today's 'Global War on Terrorism.'" The contributors "evaluate the evolution of the national-security apparatus and the role of dissenters who viewed the myriad activities of that apparatus with dismay."
Halcrow, Proceedings 133, no. 11 (Nov. 2007), calls this work "a remarkable collection of 12 essays ... by the foremost scholars in their field."

Defoe "extended the possibilities of counter-insurgency, invented practices that survive to the present day, and earned the reputation of master spy." He was successful as both an intelligence collector and an agent of influence, but "it was as a propagandist that Defoe was most useful and his contributions to the art of intelligence most original."

John. "The French Connection Revisited." International Journal
of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 4, no. 4 (Winter 1990): 507-523.
The focus here is on Project Pilot, an inter-agency (Customs, BNDD, and CIA) analysis group formed in 1972 and headed by Bacon. The idea was to engage in extensive and intensive file research at BNDD to find "the key to solving the riddle of the French Connection." The project was closed down for lack of internal support. Bacon is convinced an early opportunity to attack the drug trade was missed.
