Wires, Richard. The Cicero Spy Affair: German Access to British Secrets in World War II. Westport, CT: Praeger, 1999.
Fischer, I&NS 16.2, notes that the author "presents a revisionist account" of the Cicero story, as he "sorts out truth from fiction." He also "performs a debunking operation by showing how various accounts, including memoirs written by Bazna himself, his SD handler Ludwig Moyzisch, and German ambassador Franz von Papen, distorted the operation for their own purposes.... Wires' book is the definitive account of Operation 'Cicero.'"

"Professors and CIA operatives with academic cover have worked extensively on campuses around the world.... [T]hey have written books, articles, and reports for U.S. consumption with secret CIA sponsorship and censorship; they have spied on foreign nationals at home and abroad; they have regularly recruited foreign and U.S. students and faculty for the CIA; they have hosted conferences with secret CIA backing under scholarly cover, promoting disinformation; and they have collected data, under the rubric of research, on Third World liberation and other movements opposed to U.S. intervention."

Witcover, Jules. Sabotage at Black Tom: Imperial Germany's Secret War in America, 1914-1917. Chapel Hill, NC: Algonquin Books, 1989.
Kitchen, I&NS 6.3, says that Witcover "gets a great deal" of his story wrong and "makes a number of tiresome errors" in his account of some of the major events during this period of time. In general, the author "has great difficulty in distinguishing between fact and fiction, conjecture and substantiated evidence."
O'Toole, Encyclopedia, pp. 71-72: "At 2:08 a.m. on July 30, 1916 more than two million pounds of munitions stored on Black Tom Island in New York harbor exploded.... The explosion and the resultant fire did some $14 million in damage and killed three men and a child. The munitions ... were awaiting shipment to Russia for use against Germany in the First World War, which the United States had not yet entered. The incident was suspected to be one of sabotage by German agents. Although considerable evidence was later adduced implicating Lothar Witzke and Kurt Jahnke, both German Secret Service agents, German responsibility for the explosion was never proved."
See Spence,"Sidney Reilly in America, 1914-1917," I&NS 10.1, for a suggestion that Reilly may have been involved in the Black Tom explosion.

"[C]ompanies are spending millions to know about their competition and millions more to keep the competition from knowing about them. Most of it is legal. But some companies, desperate for knowledge they don't have, are turning to economic espionage, also known as corporate spying. It is a growing phenomenon that's happening more than many executives realize and more than most companies acknowledge, experts say."

"Pakistani officials said [on 14 January 2006] that a U.S. missile strike intended to kill al Qaeda deputy Ayman Zawahiri had missed its target but had killed 17 people, including six women and six children. Tens of thousands of Pakistanis staged an angry anti-American protest near the remote village of Damadola, about 120 miles northwest of Islamabad," where the attack took place.

SIVAM is Brazil's System for Surveillance of the Amazon, inaugurated in July 2002. It "consists of a network of radars, aircraft, satellites, and other sensors electronically tied to a centralized command center." The author believes that SIVAM's future lies in Brazilian-U.S. cooperation to deal with the "spillover of insurgents and drug traffickers from Colombia..., as well as activity of terrorist organizations in the region."
