"The military's ability to fight global terrorism is being hampered by an exodus of officers from the Intelligence Corps, with 20 per cent departing in the past three years, defence sources have disclosed.... [M]ore than 100 officers [have been] lured into highly paid private security jobs or becom[e] disillusioned at the way intelligence is handled.... In particular, Special Forces are suffering with dwindling numbers as troops are recruited into the private sector. Only last month, the commanding officer of 22 SAS left a promising career for a well-paid civilian job."

An agent with the codename of "Gideon," "turned" by the Canadians in the 1950s and believed to have been executed by the KGB, was exfiltrated from the Soviet Union in the late-1980s on orders of Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. "British intelligence is understood to have played a largely supervisory role in the operation, which was run by a Canadian."

An insider to the investigations of the mid-1970s attempts to reconstruct the "train of events." The author identifies Seymour Hersh's December 1974 articles on CIA domestic surveillance in the New York Times as the primary cause for intelligence becoming a major issue in 1975.

According to Pforzheimer, this book by the former head of Mossad "describes in detail ... the long-range, in-depth planning and operation for the Eichmann capture ... in Argentina in 1960."
Constantinides says much can be "learned from this excellent account." Harel tells the story with a "realism seldom found [even] in works of intelligence fiction."

1. "How MI5 Spied on Lennon." Sunday Times (London), 20 Feb. 2000. [http://www.the-times.co.uk]
On 18 February 2000, a federal judge in Los Angeles ordered the FBI "to release two letters about secret surveillance operations" on former Beatle John Lennon. The FBI had sought to keep the documents secret "because ... the information they contain belongs to a 'foreign power'. The unstated fact is that the documents are a summary of MI5 files....
"Evidence put before Robbins indicates that not only were Lennon and his wife ... spied on by the FBI ... but Lennon was also monitored by Special Branch and MI5 for years before he moved to America.... MI5 is likely to be angered by the Los Angeles court decision. It will confirm old-guard suspicions that any information passed to America in confidence will, sooner or later, be made public and could rebound on them."
2. "Lennon Funded Terrorists and Trotskyists." Sunday Times (London), 20 Feb. 2000. [http://www.the-times.co.uk]
"The secrets of how MI5 spied on John Lennon are to be revealed after a ruling by a Los Angeles federal court cleared the way for the release of British intelligence reports held by the FBI.... The 10 packages of documents ... are believed to expose how Lennon gave money to the Irish Republican Army.... They also show that he paid £46,000 to left-wing groups including the Trotskyist Workers' Revolutionary Party (WRP) and Red Mole, a Marxist magazine edited by Tariq Ali, the student protest leader."

While another investigation may tell us a few things we don't yet know, we cannot wait until after November to begin making needed improvements."

Christopher C. Terrorism Today. London and Portland, OR: Frank Cass,
2000.
Although this work was written prior to 11 September 2001, Jonkers, AFIO WIN 30-02 (29 Jul. 2002), recommends it "for those who look at patterns, trends and other aspects of terrorism."
Friedman, Parameters, Summer 2001, comments that this work "provides a current study to remind the reader that while there are few instances of terrorism alone accomplishing strategic goals, it often succeeds at the tactical level. Dr. Harmon's translations of the primary published thoughts of various terrorists is a major supplement to this book. The author's discussions of using military force against terrorism as well as the potential use by terrorists of weapons of mass destruction will be particularly instructive to military professionals."
For Bath, NIPQ 17.2, "Terrorism Today is well researched and well organized and of great value to those interested in ... the problem of countering terrorist activities."
Joes, I&NS 16.2, finds that this work "provides a useful bibliography and a glossery of terrorist groups. The copious notes are of great value,... containing much useful information and often very astute analytical comments.... [However,] the author is not always as careful as one might like in establishing and maintaining the real and important distinction between terrorists and guerrillas."

A finding signed by President George W. Bush before Christmas 2006 authorizes the CIA "to take covert action against Hizbollah ... to help the Lebanese government prevent the spread of Iranian influence. Senators and congressmen have been briefed on the classified 'non-lethal presidential finding' that allows the CIA to provide financial and logistical support to the prime minister, Fouad Siniora."

According to Kruh, Cryptologia 24.3, the author "tells the dramatic story of how the Petard attacked and captured U-559 " and its coveted Enigma coding material in the Eastern Mediterranean in October 1942.
Commenting on the German edition, Rohwer, JIH 2.2, notes that with the material captured from German U-Boat U 559, "Bletchley Park was able to break into the 'M-4'-cipher 'Triton' and could provide the Submarine Tracking Room (S.T.R.) with decrypted signals between B.d.U. [German U-Boat Command] and German U-Boats from mid-December 1942 on." This breakthrough "was one of the most important reasons for the change of the tide in the Battle of the Atlantic in May 1943.... Unfortunately, at least the German edition of this book contains several errors or mistakes."
