Pentagon officials said on 15 December 2005 that "analysts appear not to have followed guidelines that require deleting information on American citizens and groups from a counterterrorism database within three months if they pose no security threats." Therefore, "dozens of alerts on antiwar meetings and peaceful protests appear to have remained in the database." The Defense Department database is "known as the Threat and Local Observation Notice reporting system, or Talon."

Clubb, Oliver. KAL 007: The Hidden Story. Sag Harbor, NY: Permanent Press, 1985. Sag Harbor, NY: Second Chance Press, 1992.

Miller, IJI&C 1.1, notes that the author's approach is to show the presence of an extremely strong motive for U.S. intelligence to undertake such an operation as well as the available means to implement the motive. Clubb "states the conclusion" that the 007 flight was planned by U.S. intelligence "clearly and emphatically." Surveillant 2.6 finds that later evidence has not supported the author's "charges that the U.S. bears a major responsibility for that ... unnecessary loss of life." Recent events "change the facts of this flight. Yeltsin gave the South Korean government the black box from the downed plane, and accepted full responsibility (and expressed regret) for the tragedy."

"[I]t is crucial to understand the differences between contemporary subversion, which is directed against Muslim communities, and subversion during the Cold War, which was directed primarily (but not exclusively) at state institutions. The infiltration of the armed forces, police, and government agencies is probably a small component of subversion today. The main thrust of countersubversion, both in Britain and the United States, should therefore be on the protection of Muslim communities from those who are undermining them from within, and on building and strengthening linkages between those communities and the larger society."

1. "The Chatham House Spy." Times (London), 16 Sep. 2000. [http://www. the-times.co.uk]

Evidence that the East Germans had a spy at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) is found in "two sources within the files of the Stasi's foreign intelligence division, the Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung ... or HVA."

The archives of the HVA Leipzig outstation survived the fall of the Berlin Wall. "Even more revealing" is the HVA's System for Information Research (Sira) a coded index "to the mountains of paper files. Stasi librarians encrypted the Sira index and transferred it to magnetic tape shortly before the collapse of the communist regime.... [T]he code has now been cracked by a former telephone engineer working for the German Government Commission for the Stasi Archive, the organisation responsible for collating the data gathered by the intelligence agency.

"The Sira index ... list[s] the titles of intelligence reports from countless Stasi agents around the world, including those that British moles submitted to their handlers at the London embassy."

2. "The Stasi Spy from St James's." Times (London), 16 Sep. 2000. [http:// www.the-times.co.uk]

As revealed by newly decoded files in Berlin, a Stasi spy "worked at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) for at least six years during the 1980s, coming into contact with Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister, and countless other statesmen. Operating under the codename Eckart, he supplied the Communist leadership in East Germany with a stream of sensitive information from the influential think-tank.... The files show that Eckart also secretly supplied intelligence briefings on forthcoming Royal Navy manoeuvres and Nato planning, and handed over a number of documents apparently stolen from Chatham House."

3. "Archives Reveal Sheer Scale of Stasi Spy Ring." Times (London), 18 Sep. 2000. [http://www.the-times.co.uk]

"The enormous scale of East German espionage in Britain has been laid bare with the decoding of the archives of the secret police, the Stasi. At least 28 highly placed spies worked for the Communist regime during the last days of the Cold War, providing sensitive information on almost every area of British life."

Cobain, Ian, David Hencke, and Richard Norton-Taylor. "MI5 Told MPs on Eve of 7/7: No Imminent Terror Threat." The Guardian, 9 Jan. 2007. [http://www.guardian.co.uk] 

MI5 Director-General Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller told "a private meeting of Labour whips at the Commons on the morning" of 6 July 2005 that "there was no imminent terrorist threat to London or the rest of the country." This came "less than 24 hours before the July 7 suicide bombings."

In December 2006, "Dame Eliza announced that she is to retire in April. That announcement came weeks before details are expected to be made public of an MI5 operation which saw two of the July 7 bombers kept under surveillance, but not arrested.... Whitehall is now trawling for candidates to replace Dame Eliza. The clear favourite is Jonathan Evans, her respected deputy, who has led MI5's al-Qaida-related counterterrorist operations."

To Pforzheimer, this book is an "excellent ... account of British and French intrigue during a revolution in Holland in the 1780's." Constantinides refers to Ambassadors and Secret Agents as a "most impressive work on secret service.... [Cobban] gives a fascinating picture of the secret intelligence, propaganda, and political war waged in the Dutch Republic."

From publisher: "Bravo Two Zero has become one of the most notorious episodes in military history.
