For Kruh, Cryptologia 24.2, this 2-hour NOVA special "is one of the best television programs produced on code breaking." There is a major omission, however: Gordon Welchman deserves at least a mention.

Novak, Robert D. "'Covert' Confusion at the CIA." Washington Post, 12 Apr. 2007, A27. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
The irascible and highly partisan columnist rips DCIA Hayden for not knowing the difference between an employee who is "covert" and one who is "undercover." Novak is, of course, concerned because "[t]he designation [of Valerie Plame as a covert employee] could strengthen erroneous claims that she came under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act.... Hayden has raised Republican suspicions that he is angling to become intelligence czar -- director of national intelligence -- under a Democratic president. While Hayden proclaims himself free of politics, his handling of the Plame case is puzzling."

"Three-and-a-half years ago [24 November 1997], I reported that a veteran FBI agent resigned and retired after refusing a demand by Attorney General Janet Reno to give the Justice Department the names of top secret sources in China. My primary source was FBI agent Robert Hanssen."

Nowinski, Edmund H., and Robert J. Kohler. "The Lost Art of Program Management in the Intelligence Community." Studies in Intelligence 50, no. 2 (2006): 33-46.
This article supplies additional thoughts on the subject of management of national reconnaissance, as previously developed in the discussion between Kohler and NRO Deputy Director Dennis Fitzgerald.
"With a few exceptions in CIA, no organization in the Intelligence Community (IC) effectively manages complex and complicated acquisitions. That costs are overrun may be bad enough, but even more serious are years-long delays in delivery of capabilities that are now badly needed or the complete failure to deliver such capabilities.... We ... suggest that the community needs to get 'back to basics' on a number of fronts in order to recover its ability to successfully manage projects that are essential to the delivery of new capabilities in collection, analytical tools, automation, and better integration and interaction of IC components....
"[P]erhaps what is missing today is the right balance between community needs, technology advancement, program cost, and community-wide buy-in. In many ways, in the old days, we were lucky. Nobody doubted the need for collection, especially real-time imaging, from space. People argued over how to accomplish such missions but not the basic need for them. So it was relatively easy to align the administration and Congress around a strategy and funding. Many programs in trouble today lack this balance."

"John Symonds was no ordinary British bobby. He spent much of his police career at Scotland Yard committing perjury, taking bribes and sending men to prison on false evidence.... After he was exposed in 1969, he [fled to Morocco,] turned traitor and started to work for the KGB.... [H]is work for the KGB finally ended in 1980 when he decided to return to Britain to face charges. He was jailed for two years for corruption."

Nundy, Julian. "35 Senior French Politicians 'Spied for Soviet Bloc.'"
Electronic Telegraph, 17 Sep. 1998. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk]
According to the conservative daily Le Figaro on 16 September 1998, "[u]p to 35 senior French politicians have been identified as having acted as East Bloc agents at the height of the Cold War." The newspaper named the late Socialist defence minister, Charles Hernu, as an agent of Soviet Bloc intelligence services.

and Democracy. Amherst, NY: Prometheus Books, 1999. CIA's Black Ops: Covert Action and Foreign Policy, from the Cold War to the War on Terror. Amherst, NY: Prometheus Books, 2008. [pb]
According to Jonkers, AFIO WIN 2-00, 14 Jan. 2000, this book's basic perspective "is the notion that covert action is inimical to democracy, as indeed, in an ideal academic dream world, it unarguably is. This perspective inevitably leads to a focus on the 'numerous fiascoes' of covert action.... If one can accommodate to the author's perspective and consistent slant, the book can be interesting and educational in terms of the discussion beneath the message, addressing an intriguing topic that deserves to come under periodic critical scrutiny."
Weisler, I&NS 16.2, says that this "excellent resource ... contains an interesting and comprehensive overview of US covert actions during the Cold War." Although it "is not a rigorously researched historical work," it "is one of a very few books that examine covert action as a real policy option." Nevertheless, "readers should be cautious in accepting the validity of some of Nutter's assumptions, his evidence, and therefore many of his conclusions."
To Daugherty, IJI&C 17.1/fn. 22, the author, "while presenting a fairly wide range of legitimate issues about covert action, loses credibility for several reasons. First, he tends to draw broad, very general conclusions from single isolated events (which he may or may not have described accurately); second, he often does not provide any further sources of support or evidence for his conclusions; and finally, he simply repeats or elaborates on (without additional information) many ancient allegations of Agency behavior."

Surveillant 4.2 comments that the Consortium for the Study of Intelligence version is "the better acquisition," because it includes the give-and-take discussion that followed Nye's presentation at the Working Group session.

Nyquist, J.R. "The Case of the KGB Librarian." WorldNetDaily,
16 Sep. 1999. [http:// www.worldnetdaily.com]
"The strangest thing [to emerge from the Mitrokhin material] is the support that Mitrokhin's celebrity has received from retired KGB Gen. Oleg Kalugin, who appeared on ABC's Nightline in order to praise the value of Mitrokhin's revelations. It is downright odd that the former deputy chief of KGB foreign intelligence should publicly bolster the credibility of a KGB traitor. Gen. Kalugin, after all, is no defector.... His disagreement with the old KGB is largely confined to a personality clash with his former boss, Vladimir Kryuchkov. In fact, Gen. Kalugin's memoirs contain brilliant examples of disinformation....
"[Thus,] Gen. Kalugin's appearance on ABC's Nightline program may have a sinister significance. The cautious analyst must be careful. A defector who brings us old news may be feeding us accusations against persons who were innocent of espionage. He might also be covering the tracks of some who were guilty."
