In May 2003, Maureen A. Baginski left NSA to run the FBI's new Office of Intelligence. She had been head of Signals Intelligence at NSA since October 2000, in which position she seems to have been a significant change-agent. The article looks at some of the problems Baginski has sought to address at the FBI, and quotes from Philip D. Zelikow, John MacGaffin, and others on some of the difficulties still facing the Bureau as an intelligence organization.

Walsh, Lawrence E. Firewall: The Iran-Contra Conspiracy and Cover-Up. New York: Norton, 1997.
Elliott, Newsweek, 9 Jun. 1997, comments that the author's "central argument is straightforward: ... members of the Reagan administration broke the law. They then lied and delayed investigations in order to build a 'firewall' around Ronald Reagan.... Unfortunately, Walsh shed little light on the great remaining mystery of Iran-Contra: did Reagan know Iranian cash was being diverted to Nicaragua?"
For Dunn, Choice, Nov. 1997, this is a book that "should be approached with reservations"; it is self-serving and biased, and the author seeks to blame almost everyone but himself for the lack of concrete results from his investigation. Nevertheless, it is "a lively, outspoken, readable account ... of what happened from Walsh's perspective."

Walsh, Lawrence E. Iran-Contra: The Final Report. New York: Time Books/Random House, 1994. E876W35
This book reproduces Volume I, "Investigations and Prosecutions," of the three-volume Final Report of the Independent Counsel for Iran-Contra Matters. The other two volumes reproduced "indictments, plea agreements, interim reports to the Congress, and administrative matters" and "comments and materials submitted by individuals and their attorneys responding to Volume I of the Final Report."
According to Choice, Nov. 1994, this volume "explains two interconnected secret US government operations: (1) the arms transfers to Nicaraguan contra rebels ... and (2) the sale of arms to Iran by the Reagan administration." The Final Report is "a devastating indictment of the behavior of officials at the highest level of the Reagan administration."
