Surveillant 3.2/3: Keller "concludes that with the approval of the National Command Authorities, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Central Command could have specifically identified Saddam Hussein as a target, and that the killing of the Iraqi leader by U.S. Armed Forces would not have been illegal or an assassination."

Keller, William W. The Liberals and J. Edgar Hoover: The Rise and Fall of a Domestic Intelligence State. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1989.

Feinman, Presidential Studies Quarterly 21.1, sees the author demonstrating that from the late 1940s to the late 1960s "liberals were willing to delegate extensive powers to Hoover to fight domestic Communism and to infiltrate and undermine the Ku Klux Klan." The alliance between the liberals and Hoover began to falter only "when it became obvious that Hoover was unwilling to promote civil rights."

Kelly, Orr. Brave Men -- Dark Waters: The Untold Story of the Navy SEALs. Novato, CA: Presidio, 1992. New York: Pocket, 2003. [pb]

Surveillant 2.6 identifies Kelly as a veteran defense correspondent who has worked for the Washington Star and U.S. News and World Report. Among other things, this work discusses the Marchinko case (see Marchinko and Wiseman, Rogue Warrior) and looks at the past and possible future mission of the SEALs.

According to Yang, FILS 12.5, this work "highlights several intelligence facets of the SEAL story." They "would gather their own intelligence and then act on it.... '[T]he SEALs found they were able to penetrate deep into VC sanctuaries where more conventional forces didn't know enough, or didn't dare, to go.' (p. 136) This ability was tapped by the Central Intelligence Agency, which recognized and exploited the SEALs special talents through the Provincial Reconnaissance Unit and the Phoenix/Phung Hoang Programs." The book has an "unmistakable air of authenticity." However, for all its merits, it "cannot be considered definitive"; nevertheless, it is "better than anything else that examines SEAL history before and since the Vietnam War."

Leber, Booklist (quoted on amazon.com), notes that with the coming of war in 1939, "Englishman Ralph Bagnold, the greatest desert explorer, formed the Long Range Desert Group of patrols that gathered intelligence and generally bedeviled Italian and German troops, while Hungarian Count Ladislaus Almasy ... led the German equivalent of the LRDG, with less success." The author "has provided an impressively researched, heavily fact-laden account that could profit from more overview and analysis."

Kelly, Saul. "A Succession of Crises: SOE in the Middle East, 1940-45." Intelligence and National Security 20, no 1 (Mar. 2005): 121-146.

The focus here is on "SOE's operations in the geographic region" of the the Middle East, rather than coverage of the full slate of SOE Middle East's responsibilities, which included the Balkans. SOE "never managed to overcome the endemic suspicion by British military, political and diplomatic officials of its activities." Nevertheless, "SOE could claim some successes in the Middle East."

Kelly, Sean. America's Tyrant: The CIA and Mobutu of Zaire. Washington, DC: American University Press, 1993.

From advertisement: "The first detailed account of the 30-year relationship between the United States and Mobutu. Kelly reveals the CIA's role in putting the dictator in power and keeping him there. He describes the CIA's military and financial backing that enabled Mobutu to invade neighboring Angola, assassinate his enemies, and become one of the richest men in the world." Kelly was an "Associated Press correspondent in Namibia and a former Voice of America correspondent in Africa."

Gerhart, FA 73.5, calls America's Tyrant a "lively book..., drawing on interview material and unpublished documents in the presidential libraries." But it does not contain much new material. "Mobuto ... remains shadowy as a personality."

The "weakness that predisposes the Intelligence Community to suffer from Ames-type episodes is a basic Community-wide neglect of CI and a culture of 'functional trendiness' that causes intelligence functions or disciplines to fall in or out of favor based on the current fashion or emphasis of the moment."
