Lewis, Aidan. "Judge Issues Warrants for CIA Operatives." Associated Press, 23 Dec. 2005. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]

Italian Prosecutor Armando Spataro said on 23 December 2005 that European arrest warrants have been issued "for 22 purported CIA operatives in connection with the alleged kidnapping" of Egyptian cleric Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, also known as Abu Omar, "from a Milan street in 2003.... Previously, Italy had issued arrest warrants for the 22 inside Italy.... Spataro has already sought the extradition of the 22 from the United States. However, the request has remained with Justice Minister Roberto Castelli, who has ... questioned Spataro's motives in pursuing the arrests.... Prosecutors have identified one of the suspects as Robert Seldon Lady, a former CIA station chief in Milan who has since returned to the United States."

Lewis, Anthony Marc. "Re-examining Our Perceptions on Vietnam." Studies in Intelligence 17, no. 4 (Winter 1973): 1-62.

The author looks at "the finished intelligence concerning two periods of the Vietnam story -- 1954-1956 and 1961-1963 -- for presumptive evidence of analysts' attention or inattention to [the] intercultural and psychological dimension of the data involved."

Lewis, Bernard. The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror. New York: Random House, 2003.

Singer, Parameters 34.2, notes that while this "book breaks little new ground in either analysis or research, it does provide an easy-to-read general introduction to Lewis’s line of argument.... Lewis’s thesis describes Islam as a doctrine that rejects modernity, in lieu of a more sacred past, and is thus placed in a continual clash with the Judeo-Christian West.... The book has serious flaws, though.... In making a fairly monolithic analysis of Islam, Lewis’s one-size-fits-all approach risks misdiagnosis and clearly misses the wide diversity and great debates within the Islamic world.... [T]he book [also] suffers from the fatal flaw of much in the field, spending all of its energy in analyzing the problems, but offering little in the way of solutions."

Lewis, Christopher J. "Sustaining the Marine Corps Intelligence Force." U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings 126, no. 6 (Jun. 1995): 67-68.

Operation Desert Storm exposed the "neglected condition" of the Marine Corps' intelligence capabilities. The DoD Inspector General "documented the lack of an institutional Marine Corps commitment to tactical intelligence." The author identifies the "most important problem" as the situation where "senior positions in Marine Corps intelligence have too frequently been staffed with officers having no experience in the intelligence field.... [T]his happens because there is no professional MOS for [Marine Corps] intelligence officers at the rank of colonel.... The IG also pointed out that ... 'no intelligence officer has ever achieved general rank.'... Unless ... implementation [of the Marine Corps Intelligence Plan] results in a net gain in manning and a substantial increase in funding,... it will only be another in a long history of HQMC intelligence plans that failed to live up to expectations."

Beginning in 1951, the State Department began placing science attachés in a number of embassies, only to cut back on the program two years later. By 1956, "there were no longer any science attachés at all." (footnote omitted) The launch of Sputnik in October 1957 revived the program, and in 1965 "there were 23 attachés in 17 embassies." Problems remain, however, from misgivings about the program within the Department to difficulties in recruiting. Nor has the program been extended to the Communist countries.
