"An Earlier China Spy Case Points Up Post-Cold
War Ambiguities." New York Times, 13 Mar. 1999. [http://www.nytimes.com]
"Within two weeks, Peter H. Lee, a Taiwan-born physicist who once worked at the nuclear weapons laboratory [at Los Alamos], will complete a one-year sentence to a halfway house in California." Lee "pleaded guilty to passing classified national defense information to Chinese scientists on a visit to Beijing in 1985. He also pleaded guilty to lying to a government agency after he described on a security form a May 1997 visit to China as a pleasure trip. In reality, Dr. Lee, then a researcher for an American military contractor, met extensively with Chinese scientists."
Clark comment: The Peter H. Lee case resurfaced at this time because of the firing on 8 March 1999 by Energy Secretary Bill Richardson of Wen Ho Lee (no relation) from the Los Alamos National Laboratory for security breaches.

On 8 March 1999, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson fired Wen Ho Lee from the Los Alamos National Laboratory for security breaches. "One scientist in Washington who is familiar with Lee's work said that in the late 1980s, he began working in the area of nuclear weapons design that looks at the triggering mechanism of thermonuclear bombs -- how the primary bomb triggers the secondary, thermonuclear, bomb."

Constantinides says that this is a "well-researched book devoted largely to the British experience, especially in World War II.... More attention to the contribution PR [photo reconnaissance] made to intelligence and a bit less to administrative and organizational matters would have been preferable."

"An investigation has been launched after the newly appointed chief executive [of the Bletchley Park historic site, Christine Large,] received death threats following clashes over the future of the museum.... Large has recently had two telephone death threats at her home in London. The second call was recorded on tape and has been handed over to the Metropolitan police."

"Intelligence failed not in its inability to predict time and place, but in its inability to think the unthinkable, and to understand the mind-set of the enemy and extrapolate that into warning of what could happen." Bath, NIPQ 18.1, comments that this article provides "a well-considered view of what can reasonably be expected of intelligence and why it failed to deliver" in the case of 11 September 2001.

Brooks, Thomas A. [RADM/USN (Ret)] "Free Edmond Pope." Washington Post, 27 Aug. 2000, B6. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
The following are excerpts from Admiral Brooks' letter on the continued holding in a Russian prison of Edmond Pope, a retired U.S. Navy captain arrested in April 2000 by the FSB on espionage charges:
"... Mr. Pope is a businessman, not an agent for the U.S. government. He is being held in Moscow's infamous Lefortovo prison without any possibility of bail while the charges are investigated.... Congress and the public should insist that the Clinton administration remember its responsibility to protect the rights of its citizens traveling abroad. It is time for Congress to take a no-nonsense stand with regard to the Russians: Treat American citizens properly or forget any aid or assistance from the United States."

The 1983 invasion of Grenada was "limited in scope [and] short in duration.... Yet there were important lessons learned ... and this comparatively insignificant operation had a substantial impact on the creation of joint doctrine, to include joint intelligence and cryptologic doctrine."

Here, Brooks writes about the four volunteers from DIO 3ND who participated in the Mediterranean landings from Sicily through the land campaign. "Their exploits would not have been possible without the contacts provided tham by the New York City Mafia and the local Mafia in Sicily."

1-2.
This is a review of Gregory L. Vistica, Fall from Glory (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1995): "In his rush to tar the entire Navy with the brush of ineptitude, intellectual dishonesty and 'institutional corruption,' [Vistica] is too busy fabricating 'intelligence failures' (they usually help sell books) to pick up on what was probably the biggest story -- how good intelligence, well-analyzed and well-applied ... enabled the US Navy to devise a strategy ... which would have helped ensure victory, should we have had to fight a war with the USSR.... Vistica mixes fact with fabrication, history with self-serving and mean-spirited gossip, half-truth with personal prejudice." The authors of the review were Director of Naval Intelligence and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, respectively. See also, Brooks' letter, Proceedings 122.5 (May 1996): 16-17, which makes many of the same points.
