According to the CASIS Intelligence Newsletter, Fall 1998, Starnes served as "Canadian ambassador in Germany and Egypt, chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, and the first civilian Director-General of the RCMP Security Service."
A reviewer for the Virginia Quarterly Review 75.2, finds it unfortunate the "book focuses on the minutiae of the author's career (transfers, promotions, luncheons, holidays...)." Although Closely Guarded sheds "light on the little-known world of the Canadian intelligence community..., it is not a particularly lively read."
Granatstein, Choice, Apr. 1999, comments that "[u]fortunately,... Starnes is very discreet. There are tantilizing details, but much is left unexplained or unexplored, and the result is ultimately unsatisfying."

"[N]ow that [Yugoslav President Slobodan] Milosevic has largely complied with NATO's demands to pull his troops out of Kosovo, the alliance is relying on a variety of high-tech satellites, spy planes and unmanned drones to make sure the Serbs don't slip back into the violence-wracked province....
"Topping the list of U.S. 'assets' is the venerable U-2.... The U-2's sensors provide a range of images including still pictures, video and infrared imagery.... The U-2 also carries rarely-discussed sensors that gather 'signals' intelligence. These sensors ... can gather data from Serb radars and eavesdrop on Serb military and police communications networks. Data gathered by the U-2 can be transmitted via satellite link to intelligence analysts in as little as four minutes.
"Also flying reconnaissance missions is ... the RC-135 Rivet Joint. This aircraft typically flies at some distance from Kosovo, cruising out over the Adriatic Sea to detect any electronic messages or activity from the Serbs. The Rivet Joint ... is armed with an array of sensors to eavesdrop on radio conversations or pick up signals from radars the Serbs may illegally activate. This would allow the Rivet Joint to send NATO aircraft immediate warnings about the location of threatening forces....
"The Predator Medium Altitude Endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) uses a number of sensors that allow it to fly over Kosovo and gather detailed information about tanks, vehicles and troops.... The drone's electro-optic sensors provide high- resolution images. An infrared sensor allows NATO to determine if tanks and other vehicles are actually running, and a high-tech synthetic aperture radar can penetrate night or bad weather. The Predator can also take and transmit live video to ground stations in Europe....
"The U.S. Air Force [also] relies on commercial [satellite] imagery from the French SPOT satellite, the Canadian RADARSAT and the U.S. Landsat.... U.S. forces can also avail themselves of a number of highly classified satellites.... The Mercury-Advanced Vortex is a 'signals intelligence' satellite capable of intercepting transmissions from radios, radars and other electronic networks. U.S. forces also rely on the KH-12 Lacrosse photographic intelligence satellite to gather pictures....
"The U.S. Navy is participating in the mission as well, with its P-3C Orion aircraft ... flying over Kosovo on a daily basis.... With the ability to stay aloft for 10 to 12 hours without refueling, the Orions will provide a continuing presence to supplement the other aircraft. The Orion is equipped with a synthetic aperture radar and an electro-optic camera system for both live video and radar images of the ground situation in Kosovo. The Orion can operate in all weather, day or night. A downlink to ground stations provides instant access to the intelligence gathered during a mission."

According to U.S. officials, Ahmed Mehalba, a civilian translator for the Titan Corporation who worked at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was arrested on 29 September 2003 "after immigration officials at Boston's Logan Airport found what are alleged to be classified materials in his possession..... Mehalba is the third person arrested in what appears to be a widening investigation of possible espionage at the base where suspected al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists are held."

George St. Leger Grenfell was a classic 19th century British soldier of fortune who joined Gen. John Hunt Morgan in 1862. Recruited to participate in the "Northwest Conspiracy" in 1864, his planned attack on Camp Douglas near Chicago was betrayed. Grenfell was captured, tried, and sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted, and he was sent to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas. It is assumed that he died in an escape attempt in March 1868. O'Toole, Encyclopedia, p. 210.

According to an announcement on 31 May 2001, Bad Aibling Station (BAS), Germany, will be closed and forces stationed there consolidated and realigned. "The Department of Defense made the decision at the request of the Director of the National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service (NSA/CSS). Current operations ... will cease on Sept. 30, 2002, with return of the facility to the German Government to be completed by fiscal year 2003."
BAS "is an integral part of the Department of Defense communications network and provides support to U.S. and allied interests. There has been a U.S. presence in Bad Aibling since 1947. The U.S. Army took command of the station in 1952. In 1971, the station became a predominately civilian operation managed by NSA. In 1972, its name was changed to the current Bad Aibling Station. In 1994, BAS management was transferred from NSA to the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM)."

In May 1998, NSA officials dedicated a RU-8D Seminole reconnaissance aircraft at the National Vigilance Park in Ft. Meade, Maryland. The display "represents the contributions of U.S. Army signals intelligence soldiers who risked their lives performing aerial reconnaissance missions, especially in Vietnam."
