"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."

"Assessing DDO Human Source Reports." Studies in Intelligence
22, no. 3 (Fall 1978): 51-57. In Inside CIA's Private World: Declassified
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.

Constance. Air Spy: The Story of Photo Intelligence in World War II. New York: Harper, 1957. Evidence in Camera. London: Chatto &
Windus, 1958.
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 analysis."
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."

Bacevich, Andrew J., ed. The Long War: A New History of U.S. National Security Policy Since World War II. New York: Columbia University Press, 2007.
Halcrow, Proceedings 133.11 (Nov. 2007), calls this work "a remarkable collection of 12 essays ... by the foremost scholars in their field." More negatively, Schifferle, Military Review (May-Jun. 2008), says that The Long War "mainly reprises old ideas and posits conventional partisan disagreements with Bush administration polices in Iraq and in the War on Terror." In addition, the quality of the essays is "extremely uneven"; and this unevenness "keeps this book from being really useful as a source" for anyone interested in these subjects.

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."

The focus here is on Project Pilot, an inter-agency (Customs, Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs [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.
