Mr. Posada's immigration case has garnered world-wide attention because Mr. Posada, 79, is a former CIA operative accused by Venezuela and Cuba of plotting the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner.  He is a fierce opponent of Fidel Castro, and is wanted in Cuba and Venezuela on charges related to the bombing.  The US has refused to extradite Mr. Posada to either Cuba or Venezuela , which has infuriated both countries who say the US won't cooperate out of fear Mr. Posada will reveal CIA secrets.  However, a new FBI investigation into the bombings could provide an avenue for him to be charged in the United States in connection with the bombings. [Miami Herald/Weaver&Chardy/9May2007]

British Court Orders Hearing on WWII Super Spy.  A judge ordered the MI6 to appear at a special public hearing over the case of one of its wartime super spies, whose file is buried in the archives of the British Secret Intelligence Service.  The MI6 will have to explain its policy of keeping its files locked away from public scrutiny.   

Two Britons Convicted of Leaking Bush, Blair Memo on Iraq War.  Two British civil servants were convicted of leaking a secret memo about a 2004 meeting between U.S. President George Bush and U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair about the war in Iraq.

Both Keogh and O'Connor denied the charges, which carry a maximum sentence of two years in prison. Rex Tedd QC, Keogh's lawyer, last week said that his client intercepted the memo because he felt its contents were "utterly wrong" and would cause embarrassment for Bush. The men intended to put the document in the hands of John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, Tedd said.  Instead, O'Connor slipped the document into the papers of his boss, former Labour Member of Parliament Anthony Clarke, who alerted authorities.  Both men claim that its disclosure wouldn't have increased the risks for coalition troops, who were already facing backlash in Iraq.  [Bloomburg/Murphy/9May2007]

CIA Did Not Focus Enough on Pakistani Nuclear Scientist.  The CIA had some knowledge of Pakistani nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan's proliferation activities while they were in progress but did not pay enough attention to them, according to a London-based researcher.  Mark Fitzpatrick, a former top U.S. non-proliferation official now with the International Institute of Strategic Studies think tank said, "There's no doubt that the CIA knew about some of Khan's activities at various stages of his proliferation operation... There's also no doubt that the CIA didn't give enough attention to this area of private sector proliferation in looking at Iran's nuclear development program over the years."   Mr. Fitzpatrick said that like other western intelligence agencies, the CIA was more focused on state to state activities, he said.  Khan, an admired figure in Pakistan , was arrested in January 2004 for his central role in the black market that sold Pakistani nuclear weapons technology to Iran , North Korea and Libya and offered technology to Iraq and perhaps other countries.

Australian Spy Plane Crashes into House.  An unmanned Australian spy plane crashed into a house in Dili, a densely populated part of East Timor.  Authorities are investigating whether the plane crashed due to technical failure or operator error.  Military helicopters were scrambled immediately after the crash to find the wreckage.  No injuries were reported.  [Herald Sun/10May2007]

Esfandiari is one of three "soft hostages," all dual U.S.-Iranian nationals, whose passports have been confiscated by the Iranian government, rendering them unable to leave the country.  Esfandiari and the other soft hostages appear caught up in an Iranian reaction to the Bush administration's $75 million program to promote democracy in Iran, which was unveiled last year.  Tehran has since cracked down on human rights advocates, labor groups and women's rights campaigners, according to human rights activists.  [Washington Post/Wright/9May2007]

US Report Claimed Poppy Coin was Spy Device.  An odd-looking Canadian quarter with a bright red flower was the culprit behind a false espionage warning from the U.S. Defense Department about mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters.  The harmless "poppy quarter" was so unfamiliar to suspicious U.S. army contractors traveling in Canada that they filed confidential espionage accounts about them. The worried contractors described the coins as "filled with something man-made that looked like nano-technology," according to once-classified U.S. government reports and e-mails obtained by the AP.  The confidential accounts led to a sensational warning from the Defense Security Service, an agency of the Defense Department, that mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters were found planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances on at least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006 as the contractors traveled through Canada.
The silver-colored 25-cent piece features the red image of a poppy, Canada's flower of remembrance, inlaid over a maple leaf. The unorthodox quarter is identical to the coins pictured and described as suspicious in the contractors' accounts.  The supposed nano-technology on the coin actually was a protective coating the Royal Canadian Mint applied to prevent the poppy's red color from rubbing off. The mint produced nearly 30 million such quarters in 2004 commemorating Canada's 117,000 war dead.  [AP/8May2007]

CIA Cited for Failing to Disclose Covert Action.  The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence said yesterday that the CIA violated the law last year when it failed to inform the panel of "a significant covert action activity."  The committee gave no hint of what the covert activity involved. It disclosed the issue in support of provisions it placed in the bill that would require the CIA inspector general to conduct audits of each covert action program at least once every three years and to submit a report on the findings to both the House and Senate intelligence panels.
An intelligence official said yesterday that he could not discuss the covert action. He said that after CIA Director Michael V. Hayden took his post in May 2006 and learned about the program and that Congress had not been fully briefed, "the agency itself took the issue to the Hill [and] corrected what was an inadvertent oversight."
Yesterday, the White House, in comments on the bill, said it opposes that provision because it "impermissibly intrudes on the president's constitutional authority to protect and control access to sensitive national security information."  [CL/Washington Post/Pincus/10May2007]

CIA Launches Expanded Web Site. The CIA activated today a redesigned and expanded public Web site, with improved graphics and navigation features tested by focus groups to assure their clarity and usability, Agency officials said.  "We worked closely with the agency's four major directorates and independent offices to make the site much more informative and detailed," said public affairs officer Elizabeth Tascione Licamele.  Tascione Licamele worked for almost exactly a year with Web manager and public affairs officer Mike Stepp as well as contractors and officials from other agency divisions to buttress the site's content and reshape its "look and feel." 
The new site will provide optional flash multimedia clips to illustrate the agency's functions and missions, Tascione Licamele said during a briefing at the agency's McLean, Va., headquarters. "We have split the Web site into seven areas," Tascione Licamele said, to reflect the major categories of information it presents. For example, links to key information such as methods of contacting the CIA, how to apply for employment, how to access research information in the agency's online library and its kids' site appear prominently on the opening page. 
The CIA has added new categories of public information to the site to help explain its missions and activities more clearly to its various audiences. For example, a section describing the CIA museum includes photographs of clandestine gadgets, such as a specially-designed cosmetic compact case and a submersible vehicle, that previously were only displayed at agency headquarters. The museum photographs form part of a virtual tour that provides unprecedented online access to explanations of CIA operations, in line with a "social contract" doctrine adopted by central intelligence Director General Michael V. Hayden, USAF over the past year. 
The CIA Web site received an average of 3.7 unique visitors and 24 million page views per month, on average, during 2006, officials said. Those statistics exclude "visits" by Internet automata such as Web crawlers, worms and similar software. The site also receives hacking attacks about once every second around the clock, all year, they added.

A Declaration of Interdependence   A second letter from America to our British friends. by Gene Poteat and William Anderson 
05/03/2007 

MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES AGO we Americans thought it necessary to send you, our British cousins, a declaration which brought about a permanent separation of our political systems. Yet we retained a reverence for those freedoms which have always characterized our heritage. In a spirit of fraternal fellowship, and with equal urgency, we now write a second time. 

First, we recognize that the last century has been one of critical challenges and hazards in which, together, we have triumphed in the face of mortal dangers. That partnership, then vital for victory, is now in jeopardy. Our military and economic cooperation are well known. Less fully appreciated, yet of equal importance, has been our close alliance in matters of intelligence, technology, and national security. 

For example, we greatly appreciated your sending us the Zimmerman telegram, which proposed a German-Mexican alliance, just before World War I. We know you appreciated our response. This unprecedented sharing of the most sensitive intelligence continued throughout World War II and the Cold War, with the inevitable result--victory. This sharing of intelligence still continues, even expanding to include participation in and a degree of control of America's most sophisticated intelligence collection systems. Further, the sharing of nuclear weapons, submarine ballistic missile technology, and stealth aircraft makes a clear statement to our adversaries, as well as the rest of the world. 

We are also aware that this close fraternal tie has not been without occasional bouts of dyspepsia for you. Your perspective at times has been that our manners are coarse, our politics arcane, and our assistance less than timely. And in candor, your criticisms sometimes have merit. More than that, we are aware that your elite establishment and media thoroughly detest us. They seem eager to make common cause with those of similar perspective across the Channel, so as to exclude us from Europe and from the special relationship that we have enjoyed with you for almost a century. 

We, on the other hand, forbear to embrace attitudes of antipathy toward you. We rather like you British, actually. True, we see you as a bit on the stuffy side, but on the whole we respect your love of freedom, your prudence, and your splendid use of our sometimes common language.

But now comes a message from you that the British future will no longer be tied to America and the English speaking nations. Now not only your transnational elite, but your entire citizenry appear prepared to scuttle the special relationship that has served us all so well, we thought. Opinion polls indicate that the British public believes that America is the main focus of evil and danger in the modern world, and that close integration with the European Union is the preferred measure for future alliance building.

It might be tempting to assume that you can have it all--to embrace the European Union, even with its regulatory baggage and democratic deficit, while retaining such ties with America and the Anglosphere as would enhance British economic and military security. With deepest regret, we suggest that this will not happen.

THE EUROPEAN UNION has its own perspective on international affairs and the disciplines which support them. Its position may fairly be summarized by the assumption that the world is no longer a very dangerous place. Or that it would not be were it not for irresponsible Americans. Any international disputes should be manageable, they believe, by skilled diplomacy and the application of international law as developed by the United Nations and other supranational institutions. If only the Americans would abandon their propensity to act unilaterally, in ignorance of the received wisdom of the world community, best expressed by the view from Brussels. There is no room for America or the Commonwealth in this formulation.

With deepest respect, this view is a dangerous fantasy. Law without sanction is not law. Law without force to sustain it is idle dreaming. A worldwide totalitarian movement has declared war on our common civilization. No collection of resolutions, however cleverly drafted, will restrain it. Thus, the notion of the European Union that this challenge may be met by the means of criminal law is fatally flawed. 

The special relationship between Great Britain and the United States has had many facets. The most important ones have had to do with military coordination and, especially, the sharing of intelligence. If and when you decide to cast your lot with the European Union, this coordination and sharing will likely end. The European Union is establishing its own rules regarding intelligence sharing and will insist that you follow them. We, on 

the other hand, recognize that the European Union considers itself our competitor and, frequently, our antagonist. Thus we cannot integrate our most sensitive information systems with them. In short, you must choose. 

In doing so, we urge you to keep some things in mind: America is the world's greatest economic and military power, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. The trajectory of these factors will be increasingly unfavorable to the European Union because of the relentless demographics of their shrinking and aging populations. The developing multicultural makeup of Europe brings with it inevitable dilution of the perspectives and values once thought to comprise Western civilization. 

As we see it, the United Kingdom is considering debarking from a sturdy ship and climbing onto a sinking one. In doing so, you would abandon your only true friends. We should not need to remind you that these include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some of the Commonwealth, as well as ourselves.

Perhaps you have already made up your minds. Perhaps it is already too late. But think about what you are giving up. 

We will not turn our backs on you. Yet, if you integrate your intelligence services with the European Union, there is only so much we can do. We will try our best to aid you in the great struggle that is now beginning. The gathering storm is there for all but the willfully blind to see. But we will have a greater chance for victory if, as before, we fight together.  (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/013/562ahjrw.asp?pg=1)

Book Reviews

Buda's Wagon:  A Brief History of the Car Bomb by Mike Davis.  Mr. Daniel Smith provided an interesting review of Buda's Wagon:  A Brief History of the Car Bomb in the 4 May 2007 edition of the Financial Times.  From the review:  It began with a horse-drawn wagon on Wall Street in September 1920, when an Italian anarchist called Mario Buda tried to blow up the federal Assay Office in downtown Manhattan. Forty people were killed, 200 injured, but the real consequence of this attack, argues Mike Davis in his horrifying new book, Buda's Wagon, was more imaginative than physical. An idea exploded, and has not stopped yet.  A good review of an interesting book.  [CL/Financial Times/Swift/4May2007]

The Nuclear Sphinx of Tehran: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the State of Iran
by Yossi Melman and Meir Javedanfar.  Harvey Morris reviewed The Nuclear Sphinx of Tehran: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the State of Iran in the 4 May 2007 edition of the Financial Times.  From the review:  Iran's current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who shares the Shah's tendency to megalomania, has similarly embraced a nuclear energy program that thinly disguises an ambition to produce a bomb. [CL/Financial Times/Morris/4May2007] 

The Perfect Spy by Larry Berman.  During the Vietnam War, Pham Xuan An led a double life. He was a writer for Time magazine and a friend of people like journalists David Halberstam, Neil Sheehan and Stanley Karnow, and of CIA director William Colby. He also spied for North Vietnam .

When he wasn't writing for Barnacle, the college paper, he loved sailing off Newport Beach , attending beach parties and playing practical jokes on fellow students. As an aging man, he counted his days in Orange County among the happiest times of his life.

Mr. Hale was born in Portland and raised in Utah.  He went to work at the CIA in 1967 as an intelligence officer, according to a statement issued by his family. There, he studied nuclear technology and contributed to presidential briefings on arms control.  Mr. Hale was promoted to assistant legislative counsel before leaving the agency in 1975 to move to Seattle and pursue a career in law.  In 1995, Mr. Hale went to work for the Seattle office of Perkins Coie -- a legal giant employing more than 600 attorneys -- where he specialized in insurance law.  As a partner with the firm, Mr. Hale represented a number of large clients and also was committed to pro bono work and legal ethics, serving as a hearings officer for the state bar association and chairman of the firm's professional standards committee. 

Mr. Hale is survived by Jeanie Hale, his wife of 28 years, as well as a daughter and two siblings. The family requests that donations be made to the Seattle Audubon Society.  [pjk/SeattlePI/Pulkkinen/7May2007]
