SECTION I - CURRENT INTELLIGENCE

DHS TO STRENGTHEN INTELLIGENCE, CYBER ROLES - On 13 July, DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff unveiled plans to centralize terror analysis within his 180,000-person department and create a new intelligence chief. He will also appoint an assistant secretary for cyber and telecommunications security, AP reported.
www.signonsandiego.com/news/nation/terror/20050713-1335-homelandsecurity.html
    Other changes will be the hiring of a chief medical officer to help plan for the thousands of casualties that might result from a WMD attack. Also to be appointed will be an undersecretary for policy and a director of operations coordination.
    The plans put a higher priority on bioterrorism and steps up detection systems in mass transit.
    In welcome news to Washington-area passengers, the department also will lift a rule that forbade passengers from leaving their seats for 30 minutes before flying into or out of Reagan National Airport.
    Chertoff renewed his call for a retooling of terror-watch lists to eliminate what he called "an unacceptably high number of false positives." He and Secretary of State Rice will soon announce plans to ease visa hassles for foreigners entering the country to visit, work and study - possibly a nod to the pressures felt from educational institutions and corporations seeking fast-track entry of students with tuition checks and foreign employees willing to accept low wages -  though it was through "student" and visitor visas that many of the 9/11 hijackers gained entry to the U.S.  As memory of the attacks fade, America shows that it will forfeit safety for economic benefits to private interests -- until the next attack.  None of this, of course, diminishes the value of Chertoff's new initiatives -- for he has to deal with a wide assortment of competing interests.
    The new intelligence director is to centralize the analysis of information gathered by 11 DHS bureaus. The director, yet to be appointed, will be asked to improve the department's standing within the IC where it is perceived as a junior partner and often left out of the loop.
    The new policy undersecretary will oversee international affairs, strategic plans and work with the private sector.
    Cybersecurity is to be assigned to an assistant secretary, who will also focus on telecommunications.
    Of the proposed changes, 80 percent can be accomplished under Chertoff's existing authority; the remainder requires congressional approval.
    Many of Chertoff's changes reflect recommendations made last year by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Heritage Foundation.
    "The current organization is weighted with bureaucratic layers – there are still turf wars and there is no place for strategic thinking and policy making," said CSIS Homeland Security director David Heyman, who helped craft the recommendations. (DKR and EAB)

WELDON WANTS ALLEGED CIA LEAK INVESTIGATED - Rep. Curt Weldon, vice-chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has called for the CIA to investigate whether Bill Murray, a former Paris station chief, disclosed the identity of "Ali," the alias used by a Paris-based Iranian dissident which Weldon says was classified, the Financial Times (London) reported on 14 July.

    Murray, who has met Ali in Paris, described him last month as a fabricator with close ties to Manucher Ghorbanifar, the Iranian arms dealer discredited by the CIA over his role in the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages scandal. Murray says he did not provide the identity of Ali to journalists or anyone else.
    He also denies that Ali's identity was classified, a view shared by another former senior intelligence official familiar with the Ali case, who described Weldon's charges as reprehensible.
    Weldon said Murray's claim to have warned Weldon Ali was a fabricator the night before Weldon met Ali and Ghorbanifar in Paris last year was an absolute lie.
    In his recently published Countdown to Terror, Weldon alleged the CIA ignored information provided by Ali about potential terror attacks and the whereabouts of Usama bin Ladin. Those claims led Murray to respond publicly that Ali never provided any credible information.
    Weldon has also accused former DDO Steven Kappes of lying by saying when he was station chief in Paris that he would arrange for a CIA operative to meet Ali. Weldon said he then learned that Ali was interviewed instead by French intelligence. Former senior officials say the French met Ali after he alleged that Iranians were planning to assassinate former President George Bush. Murray later met Ali on several occasions.
    Former DCI Woolsey, who endorsed Weldon's book as "a case study of an intelligence failure with potentially catastrophic consequences for the U.S." said on 13 July:
    "I don't know Ali, but I have a good deal of confidence in Curt Weldon. The CIA is far too hasty in writing off contacts with people because they believe they [have had] some bad association or some association with someone that they think has not dealt properly with them in the past." (DKR)


SECTION II – CONTEXT AND PRECEDENCE

DEFENSE LAWYER CLAIMS FBI ‘LIED’ TO OBTAIN WARRANT - FBI agents, says defense counsel,  intentionally deceived a judge to obtain a warrant to arrest a man who turned out to not be linked to terrorist bombings in Spain.  The claims of outrage come from the man's attorney who told another federal judge in Portland, OR, on 15 July, and was reported in the Washington Times.  www.washingtontimes.com/national/20050715-112817-7611r.htm
    Gerry Spence, lead lawyer who sparred with the FBI in 1997 on the shooting of Mrs. Weaver in the Ruby Ridge/Randy Weaver Case, represented Brandon Mayfield, the individual claiming that the Bureau agents were not telling the truth.
    Mayfield was arrested in May 2004, two months after the Madrid commuter train station bombings that killed 191 people. The Bureau initially reported that fingerprints found on a bag of detonators recovered at the scene matched Mayfield's, but later determined that the prints belonged to someone else. They released Mayfield and publicly apologized to him.
    A vociferous convert to Islam, Mayfield seized the opportunity via attorney Spence and filed a lawsuit against DoJ, charging he was singled out because of his religion.  He also contends that key sections of the USA PATRIOT Act, which he says were used to install wiretaps and conduct secret searches of his home, are unconstitutional [though the claim ignores many other cases which have shown the usefulness of such sections of the Act, suggesting that the Act should be retained or strengthened].
    Mayfield's lawyers argued that the FBI deceived federal Judge Robert Jones to get a material witness warrant to arrest Mayfield - rather than accept the Bureau's position that the initial decision was to arrest Mayfield for closer investigation when the fingerprints appeared to match.
    Though Spanish investigators supposedly told the FBI nearly a month before Mayfield was arrested that they disagreed with the fingerprint lab's match. Mayfield's lawyers argue that this information was kept from Judge Jones.
    According to court records, the FBI was sent a copy of the fingerprints on the detonators and fed it into a database, which returned 20 possibilities. Mayfield, whose prints were in the computer because he is a former U.S. Army lieutenant, was listed as the fourth most-likely candidate, court documents showed.  Coupled with his conversion to the Muslim religion, and prior experience in the U.S. military, his name moved to the head of the list, leading to his arrest.   (DKR and EAB)

MUTUAL HIRING BY MZM, NGIC PROBED – In October 2002, MZM Inc. was given a seven-week, $194,000 contract to analysis FIRES, a computer program concept to collect blueprints of facilities worldwide to create an intelligence database for the Army's National Ground Intelligence Center. Two months later MZM hired the son of the NGGC civilian Executive Director, William S. Rich Jr., the Washington Post reported on 17 July.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/16/AR2005071601018.html 
    The Post report follows DoD action three weeks ago, cutting off new work on MZM's main contract under which NGIC work was performed. DoD said the contract no longer was considered competitively awarded.  MZM over the past three years has done more than $160 million in defense contracting work.
    William Scott Rich III became involved in the FIRES program soon after he was hired, and MZM received multimillion-dollar orders to continue work on FIRES and other programs.
    When the younger Rich was hired by MZM, Rich senior was required to inform his superiors and recuse himself from dealing with MZM, according to a statement by Deborah Parker, chief of public affairs for the Army Intelligence and Security Command, which oversees the NGIC. Parker did not provide the date Rich recused himself.
    When the senior Rich resigned from the NGIC in September 2003, he joined MZM as a senior executive vice-president for intelligence. "The circumstances of Mr. Rich's employment with MZM were thoroughly reviewed by Army officials," according to Parker, and "no evidence of impropriety was found."
    The Ethics in Government Act barred Rich, as a senior manager, from having dealings with the NGIC for one year after his employment by MZM, the Post wrote.
    In the past three years at least 15 former NGIC analysts and administrative personnel have gone to MZM. Some went to work on the same projects they had been working on as government employees, but were paid higher salaries.
    Neither Rich nor MZM have responded to requests for comment, the Post said.
    The NGIC has a staff of 900, of whom three-quarters are civilians and the rest active military. Most are employed at a facility near Charlottesville, VA, where they produce primary intelligence analysis of foreign armies and studies of foreign weapons and technologies.
    DNI has opened an enquiry into prewar NGIC mistakes in analyzing Iraq's weapons programs that is being carried out by the FBI, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the IRS and the U.S. attorney's offices in the District of Columbia and San Diego, according to a law enforcement official.
    The federal investigations involving the NGIC and MZM are part of an inquiry that began last month into the relationship between the company's founder, Mitchell J. Wade, and Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham. Press reports said that Wade bought Cunningham's home near San Diego in 2003 for what appears to be $700,000 over its market value and that Cunningham lived rent-free for more than a year on Wade's 42-foot yacht while in Washington.

SECTION III – CYBER INTELLIGENCE

FEDS SEEK SURVEILLANCE OVER CYBER SERVICE ON PLANES -The FBI, DoJ and DHS have jointly proposed enhancing surveillance powers over Internet service on airplanes in an effort to shape an emerging technology to meet the government's concerns about terrorism, the Washington Post reported on 13 July.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/12/AR2005071201435.html
    The law enforcement authorities want the ability to intercept, block or divert e-mail or other online communication to and from airplanes after obtaining a court order. Internet providers would have to allow government monitoring within 10 minutes of a court order being granted, be able to electronically identify users by their seat numbers and be required to collect and store records of the communications for 24 hours.
    These capabilities would go far beyond current ones for monitoring Internet traffic on land, though an understandable need since air-based attacks could be better orchestrated with - with devastating precision - through in-air plotting by potential terrorists.
    The joint proposal has been filed with the FCC which is examining mostly technical changes to rules for satellite-based Internet services in hopes of spurring more deployment on airplanes. The service is available on some international airlines, but not as yet on domestic carriers.
    The proposing agencies say they support allowing travelers the ability to surf the Web and communicate via e-mail or instant messaging in the air but also have legitimate fear that terrorists could use these facilities to coordinate an attack on a single plane, between aircraft or with people on the ground. The government also has concerns that terrorists could use Internet-connected devices to detonate explosives by remote control.  (DKR)

BRITS WANT ALL OF EU TO ADOPT BIOMETRIC ID CARD - Britain is using its current six-month rotating presidency of the European Union to push for the adoption of biometric ID cards and associated standards across the whole of the EU, the Register.co.uk reported on 13 July.
www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/13/uk_eu_id_proposal/
    A British proposal calls for drafting common standards for national identity cards taking into account the achievements in relation to the EU passport and in the ICAO framework.
    The tiptoeing around ICAO is significant, according to the Register, because the current ICAO standard covers only passports, and in effect only requires a facial biometric. The UK proposal is available at Statewatch  www.statewatch.org/news/2005/jul/07eu-id-bio-plan.htm. (DKR)

BOOKS

A TALE OF A CIA FAMILY'S LIFE - John H. Richardson, My Father the Spy: An Investigative Memoir  (HarperCollins, 256 pp. $244.95)
    Richardson, a writer-at-large for Esquire magazine, pieces together a narrative of John Richardson Sr.'s rise from an agency operative in postwar Europe to station chief in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Korea. The portrait that emerges is of unusual man who - like most professional intelligence officers in the DO - was both a dedicated spymaster and concerned to maintain his moral scruples, as well as a diplomat who witnessed some of the great conflicts of the 20th century.
    Richardson gives a clear-eyed account of both his father's achievements and failures. In so doing, he relates a tale of a brave, complicated man who was devoted to the spread of democracy - a cause America continues to cherish.
    Richardson published a short and moving memoir of his father, ‘Spies in the House,’ in the 17 July New York Times that may be accessed at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/magazine/17LIVES.html?   (DKR)

CIA INTERNAL HISTORY ON BAY OF PIGS FOUND -- AFIO member/professor David Barrett at Villanova writes to say that he has located the third volume on the Bay of Pigs written by the agency's internal historian, Jack Pfeiffer.
    Before his death, Pfeiffer tried unsuccessfully through the courts to get some portions, at least, of the history declassified. Intelligence scholars and others interested in CIA history have thought all of Pfeiffer's volumes were still classified, but it turns out that one volume (focusing mainly on the Eisenhower era and the transition-to-Kennedy period) has been sitting in Box 1 of a collection called "CIA Miscellaneous," part of the much larger JFK Assassination-Related Records Collection at National Archives II, College Park, MD.
    For the benefit of other intelligence scholars, Dr. Barrett has posted the Pfeiffer volume on his website in a series of PDFs by chapter. The 290-page history, not including endnotes and appendices, can be accessed at www.homepage.villanova.edu/david.barrett
    The PDF files are large, so those without high-speed internet hookups will find the downloads tediously slow.
    Pfeiffer's history has some fascinating stories, though it portrays Dulles as "out of touch," and questions Bissell, Eisenhower, and (ever so briefly) JFK on too-close relations between CIA and anti-Castro U.S. corporate leaders. And then there's that matter of assassinations.....
    Barrett discovered the Pfeiffer volume too late to include portions of it in his forthcoming book, The CIA and Congress: The Untold Story from Truman to Kennedy, to be published by Kansas University Press in September.  He kindly uploaded what he found and immediately notified us. Our thanks.  (DKR)

ISSUES

FORMER DCI DEUTCH CALLS FOR U.S. PULL OUT -- John M. Deutch,  DCI 1995-1996, and DSecDef 1994-1995, writing in the New York Times of 15 July, calls for the United States to pull out of Iraq "And Not Just From Iraq."
www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/opinion/15deutch.html?th&emc=th
    America, he says, embarks on an especially perilous course when it actively attempts to establish a government based on our values in another part of the world. The notion of intervening in foreign countries to build a society "of our preference," Deutch notes, is not just a Republican or conservative failing. "The corresponding Democratic or liberal failing is the view that America has a duty to intervene in foreign countries that egregiously violate human rights and a responsibility to oppose and, where possible, remove totalitarian heads of state."
    While the United States should not shirk from quick military action for the purpose of saving lives that are in immediate danger, as was the case in Rwanda, a major instance of failing to do so, it should not be lured into intervention to replace despotic regimes with systems of government more like our own. "It is not that the purpose is unworthy, but rather that it is unlikely to succeed."
    The American military, the best in the world, is built to fight and win wars, but maintaining local security, brokering political alliances and running local water systems, hospitals, power plants and schools are not major parts of its mission or training.
    "Reshaping our military to take on the activities that the Pentagon euphemistically calls 'stability and security' operations will come at a cost - both in terms of potentially compromising the war-fighting capacity of our troops and in diverting the resources needed to support the civic action that underlies nation-building."
    We would be better served by combining diplomacy with our economic strength. Even North Korea saw the advantages, at least for a period of time, of constraining its nuclear weapons activities for the economic benefits that accompanied the ‘agreed framework’ of 1994. More recently, Libya backed off its secret pursuit of WMD, apparently on the sole expectation of economic benefit.
    Regarding Iraq, "Those who argue that we should 'stay the course' because an early withdrawal from Iraq would hurt America's global credibility must consider the possibility that we will fail in our objectives in Iraq and suffer an even worse loss of credibility down the road."
    Deutch believes the underlying destabilizing effect of the insurgency is undiminished and the insurgency cannot be overcome easily by either United States military forces or immature Iraqi security forces. "Our best strategy now is a prompt withdrawal plan consisting of clearly defined political, military and economic elements."
    The first Iraqi election under the permanent constitution, planned for 15 December, is an appropriate date for beginning the pullout.
    "We should establish a timetable for reducing the scope of operations that has enough flexibility so as not to provide a tactical advantage to insurgents. We should also plan on continuing measures like no-flight zones, border surveillance, training for Iraqi security forces, intelligence collection and maintenance of a regional quick-reaction force."
    Such measures cannot guarantee a secure and democratic Iraq free of external domination. But, Deutch concludes, they could be first steps of a strategy to pursue America's true long-term interests in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.  (DKR)

DNI MOVES TO BOLLING AFB - DNI Negroponte is moving his headquarters into the top two floors of the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center at Bolling Air Force Base, the Washington Times Reported on 15 July.
www.washingtontimes.com/national/20050714-112024-5636r_page2.htm
    The move to Bolling in Southeast Washington on the Anacostia River is considered semi-permanent, for three to five years, until a permanent facility is built. At present the DNI works at the New Executive Office Building near the White House.  (DKR)

WHITE HOUSE SOURCES SAY THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY PLAME BY NAME - Time magazine correspondent Matt Cooper has named a second Bush administration official as a source for stories that identified Valerie Plame as a CIA operative, although he conceded that neither source mentioned her by name or said she had been a covert agent, The Washington Times reported on 18 July.
www.washingtontimes.com/national/20050718-121616-9626r.htm
    Cooper writes that he told a federal grand jury investigating the leak that he asked Lewis "Scooter" Libby, chief of staff to the Vice President whether Cheney played any role in arranging Joseph C. Wilson IV's trip to Niger, as suggested by Wilson in an op-ed essay in the New York Times.
    "On background, I asked Libby if he had heard anything about Wilson's wife sending her husband to Niger. Libby replied, 'Yeah, I've heard that too,' or words to that effect," Cooper writes.
    "Like Rove, Libby never used Valerie Plame's name or indicated that her status was covert, and he never told me that he had heard about Plame from other reporters, as some press accounts have indicated," Cooper writes. (DKR)

MI5 LOOKED AT, DISMISSED, LONDON BOMBER - MI5 officials determined last year that one of the four men who set off bombs in London on 7 July was not a threat to national security, UPI reported.
www.washingtontimes.com/upi/20050716-113032-9791r.htm
    MI5 looked at Mohammed Sidique Khan as part of a routine threat examination, but decided against putting him under surveillance, the London Sunday Times (London) said, citing a senior official.
    Khan, 30, killed six other passengers (and himself) at the Edgeware Road Underground station. The Times said he came under scrutiny in 2004 when MI5 learned he had visited a house used by a man who had met one of those suspected of plotting to explode a truck bomb in London. As Khan was only indirectly linked to the plot, he was not considered a risk.  This should now have many 5ers going back through the files, to trigger a new round of surveillance assignments. (DKR)

Letters

Re. FDR AND HITLER’S SABOTEURS, WINs #25-05 dated 4 July 2005
WINs reader Michael P. writes:
    Pierce O'Donnell's new account of the landing, subsequent capture and trial of German saboteurs in 1942 is quite timely since the captured German saboteurs were tried by a military commission - an issue that is currently controversial because the government still asserts the right to try Jose Padilla (and possibly others) as enemy combatants by military commission.
    The Supreme Court's decision in Exparte Quirin denied a writ of habeas corpus that sought to move the trial to civilian courts. At the time, Director Hoover played up the capture of the eight as a major accomplishment of the FBI. The press had excellent coverage of the arrests and the material captured as a result of the FBI's investigation. However, certain salient aspects of the case were never revealed at the time and remained unknown until the 1980s.
    The FBI did perform well, but the public was never told that the successful operation stemmed from the fact that one of the saboteurs phoned the FBI the day after the landing on Long Island. George Dasch told his partner Ernest Berger that he had no intention of carrying out their mission and planned to contact the FBI. Berger agreed.
    The first FBI agents Dasch spoke to did not take him seriously, but he was finally put in touch with Agent Duane Traynor who was apparently aware that the Coast Guard had found some of the team's cached equipment on Long Island.
    Dasch subsequently met with the Traynor in D.C. and revealed all the details of the plot, the identity and descriptions of the saboteurs and the location of the material they brought with them. All of the men were arrested within a week of their landings.
    Hoover said nothing of the role of the German agents in tipping the Bureau to the plot making it appear that success was solely due to the FBI's investigative prowess. There was some justification for this since it might make the Nazis reluctant to try again. However, Dasch and Burger were treated shabbily.
    Roosevelt directed that they be tried before a secret military tribunal and all eight were sentenced to die. Six were immediately executed and buried in unmarked graves. Dasch and another man were sent to jail. Roosevelt (after intervention by Attorney General Biddle) commuted the Dasch's sentence to 30 years in jail and that of Burger (who left material on the beach to tip off the landing and who was aware that Dasch planned to phone the FBI) to life in prison. Dasch had expected to be hailed as a hero and had expected to be pardoned immediately.
    Agent Traynor learned that Hoover had reneged on the deal. After the war ended, in 1946, Traynor renewed his efforts to have Dasch released, but Hoover told him, “Your personal opinions...(are), to say the least, ill-advised.” Soon after, Traynor resigned from the FBI.
    In 1948 – six years after he prevented the attack on America – Dasch was paroled and quickly and quietly deported to Germany where he was ostracized because they alerted the FBI.

AFIO MEMBER SEEKS LOAN OF BILL HARVEY PHOTO – Member Bayard Stockton, author of a forthcoming biography of Bill Harvey, a well-known senior CIA officer, would be most grateful for the loan of an original print of Wally [Wallace] Driver's photo of Harvey, taken in Berlin in about 1957, for possible use on the book cover. Stockton assures those with the photo that he guarantees most careful handling and return. (Wally Driver - a former AFIO member - died in June in San Diego, and had been unable to find the negative.)

Discovering the truth is essential, but how can an interrogator outwit a wily spy? Join John F. Sullivan, who wrote Of Spies and Lies: A CIA Lie Detector Remembers Vietnam, as he exposes the secrets of the polygraph - its history, uses, and abuses.

Although the polygraph has become increasingly controversial, Sullivan will reveal how the powerful combination of artful interrogation and sensitive machinery helped him catch seven double agents and hundreds of criminals. Once you’re versed in lie-detection, you’ll join Sullivan in an interrogation and assessment of two “highly suspicious” characters.

17-20 February -06 - Arlington, VA - The Intelligence Summit™ 2006 -to be held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, VA. This new event will bring together the international intelligence agencies from the free nations of the world in a non-partisan, non-profit educational conference on neutral ground. "Intelligence today embraces more than the civilian and military agencies of the federal intelligence community. In this age of terrorism, it is critically important for state and local law enforcement to know how and where to obtain intelligence, and to whom it should be forwarded. Corporate and private-sector intelligence managers face new and diverse challenges, from defending against economic espionage to creating new technology to meet intelligence's future needs. Many members of the press (and even a few members of Congress) lack the depth of knowledge in intelligence which is necessary to deal with, and resolve, its complex issues. The same is true for non-governmental organizations, the academic community, media, and ethnic and religious organizations. All of these diverse components of the intelligence domain will come together at the Intelligence Summit." The sponsors of the event have offered AFIO members a 10% discount off the website price if the voucher code "AS10" is entered in the special discount field on the online reservation form. For more information to attend or to be an exhibitor, visit: http://www.intelligencesummit.org/about.php or write to them at The Intelligence Summit, 535 Central Ave Ste 316, St Petersburg, FL 33701.  Also visit their news pages for some good links to current breaking intelligence news: http://www.intelligencesummit.org/news/
