2000. [http://www. wired.com]
Jeffrey Richelson, National Security Archives researcher, has found "[r]eferences to a project Echelon ... in declassified National Security Agency documents [obtained under the Freedom of Information Act].... Richelson said the documents indicate that it may not have nearly the illicit scope and nature held by some of the more extreme conspiracy theories regarding Echelon.... In fact, Richelson said he doubts the agency has overstepped any legal bounds in executing the Echelon program."
Richelson's introduction to the documents is available at: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB23/index.html.
The documents with Richelson's annotations are available at: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB23/index2.html.

Erskine, IJI&C 4.1: O'Brien expresses his "anger at ISLD's [Inter-Services Liaison Department, the codename for the British Secret Service in India] inefficiency." The "principal enemy was ... weather and the fiendishly difficult terrain." O'Brien is a gifted writer" and his book is "full of detailed insights on British clandestine operations."

"[W]e are currently letting the terrorist and insurgents pick the time and place of their information operations in today’s Iraq. We appear to be fighting the enemy’s fight, and only addressing the symptoms and not the causes of the larger battle by cleverly copying enemy fliers, or mirroring their themes in our psychological operations efforts."
