Miami Herald, 19 Feb. 2000. [http://www.herald.com]
According to the FBI, Mariano Faget, the INS official charged with spying for Cuba, "waited just 12 minutes before divulging classified information about a possible defection of a Cuban intelligence officer to a New York businessman with ties to the Castro government." Faget " telephoned the Cuban-born businessman after he was told of the possible defection by FBI and INS officials in what turned out to be an elaborate trap."

Scott-Smith, I&NS 19.1, comments that the "main value" of this biography of Prince Bernhard "is that it gathers together the material, most of it already published in various other works, concerning Bernhard's noteworthy relationship with various intelligence services, including the Abwehr, MI6, and CIA." The author made "a serious effort to gather new material" but "is unable to offer much more than extra details to stories already in the public domain."

"[T]he blackout of the world's most powerful collection of supercomputers is hard evidence of the vast problems facing America's largest and most secretive intelligence agency. By all accounts, the NSA has lost its lead -- and perhaps its way -- in the information revolution it helped create....
"Intelligence experts blame NSA's woes on budget and staffing cuts since the Cold War, tougher targets and countermeasures and, most important, a hidebound bureaucracy that remains wedded to telex technology in the e-mail age."

One of the factors behind the public accusations of espionage by the French government against five Americans may have been French concern about the recent successful use of U.S. intelligence to thwart French bribes and other shady business practices in international commerce.
Clark comment: It seems clear from this report that the French opted for some reason to mount a full-scale counterintelligence operation against an American female operative and her contacts with a French government official.

When German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder visited the United States last month, he "was fervently hoping he would return home with ... the top-secret archives of East Germany's foreign spy operations that the CIA spirited away after the fall of the Berlin Wall." However, President Clinton would not even discuss the issue. The Chancellor's "senior aides said privately" that he "was outraged by the ... refusal to surrender files that Germany considers its property. They warned that the impasse soon could seriously damage cooperation on intelligence and other matters between the countries."

The recall of the three Americans, described as a married couple and their supervisor working under cover out of the U.S. consulate in Munich, came after they were accused of using false pretenses to recruit German citizens for unspecified economic espionage, German officials said."

The files smuggled out of Russia by KGB defector Vasili Mitrokhin "are also said to show how the Soviets eavesdropped on White House and State Department communications, tapped the telephone lines of major American defense industries and planted spies in key companies whose information enabled Soviet engineers to build many advanced weapons systems according to pilfered American designs."

Drumheller, Tyler, with Elaine Monaghan. On the Brink: An Insider's Account of How the White House Compromised American Intelligence. New York: Carroll & Graf, 2006.
According to Bamford, Washington Post, 12 Dec. 2006, the author "describes his frustrating -- and ultimately unsuccessful -- efforts to warn senior CIA and White House officials that they were on the road to disaster" in Iraq. "[T]his is the first time the CIA official at the center of the ["Curveball"] controversy has told his story." Despite the CIA's censors, the book "shows how easy it was for a small cadre of senior intelligence officials, intent on war, to send the country into a bloody quagmire."
Peake, Studies 51.1 (Mar. 2007), comments that this work "is a firsthand account by a respected former CIA officer and thus should be taken seriously. The story he tells is sourced in the text."
For West, IJI&C 20.3 (Fall 2007), the author's "account is a thoughtful, considered stilleto blade delivered into the heart" of the CIA's Directorate of Operations. Drumheller's "narrative is important, both in terms of intelligence history ... and in terms of the role played by professionals in seeking to offer politicians unbiased and accurate advice."
In his autobiography, George Tenet [George J.Tenet, with Bill Harlow, At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA (New York: HarperCollins, 2007)] takes pointed exception to Drumheller's assertions regarding his concerns about Curveball. Tenet stops short of accusing Drumheller of lying, but certainly makes it clear that multiple opportunities to raise concerns about Curveball, to the extent they existed at the time, were not acted upon. [See Tenet, pp. 376-383.]
