SECTION I - CURRENT INTELLIGENCE

FBI, OTHERS SAID TO HAVE MADE LITTLE PROGRESS IN KEY AREAS - Former members of the 9/11 Commission charged on 20 October that the FBI and other agencies have made little progress in key areas, putting the nation at greater risk of a successful terrorist attack, the Washington Post reported.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/20/AR2005102001927.html
The panel said that, among other things, the FBI needs to strengthen its intelligence analysis capabilities, slow down the rapid turnover of senior officials, and improve recruitment and training of agents and analysts.
The report also faulted intelligence agencies for continued confusion in sharing information with each other and said Congress had done little to streamline the labyrinth of committees that oversee homeland security issues.
Although the 10-member bipartisan commission was formally disbanded after issuing its report, its members reorganized as a private group, the 9/11 Public Discourse Project, to continue lobbying for improvements in the nation's intelligence and homeland security agencies. (DKR)

CONGRESSMAN�S CALL FOR PROBE INTO ALLEGED DIA WITCH-HUNT - Rep. Curt Weldon renewed his call for a new probe into what he says is a witch-hunt by DIA officials against 9/11 intelligence whistleblower Anthony Shaffer, UPI reported on 19 October.
www.upi.com/SecurityTerrorism/view.php?StoryID=20051019-040108-6365r
Weldon, who will be the keynote speaker at the AFIO Annual Awards Banquet on 29 October, said DIA had conducted a deliberate campaign of character assassination against Shaffer who had the Army rank of lieutenant colonel.
Shaffer has said that a DoD data-mining project, Able Danger, identified the ringleaders of the 9/11 attacks as linked to al-Qa�ida more than a year before the attacks.
Weldon said he had written to the DoD IG to ask for an immediate formal inquiry, with people testifying under oath.
Shaffer has been on administrative leave while minor allegations about expenses are investigated.
Weldon's move comes after Shaffer said that boxes of his personal effects, returned to him by the DIA earlier this month, contained both government property and classified documents.
Sending classified material through the mail is a felony, and much more serious than any of the minor, trumped up charges against Shaffer, Weldon said, adding, "I want the appropriate persons held accountable."
Weldon said that the DIA had now taken steps to fire Shaffer and that this was outrageous and scandalous. A DIA spokesman had no immediate comment. (DKR)

SECTION II - CONTEXT AND PRECEDENCE

RISE IN AFGHAN INSURGENCY TIED TO QUEST FOR FINANCING - US intelligence officials say Afghan insurgents are resorting to more spectacular attacks on American and local forces and civilians partly to attract financing from extremist financiers in the Middle East who have been increasingly directing their funds to insurgents in Iraq, the New York Times reported.
www.nytimes.com/2005/10/21/international/middleeast/21afghan.html?th=&adxnnl=1&emc=th&adxnnlx=1129899616-R7Y7roLG/JJgqcxqf1hb3w
Taliban insurgents have ratcheted up their campaign of violence in southern Afghanistan a month after parliamentary elections, concentrating on the province of Kandahar from where the American-led coalition forces run their combat operations in southern Afghanistan.
There have been daily attacks on American forces and militants have become more skilled in shooting down helicopters. There has been a sudden rise in suicide bomb attacks, a tactic that had not been used much in Afghanistan before, largely because it is thought Afghans do not believe suicide is permitted under Islam. Already, there have been at least 13 suicide attacks this year, more than double the number from all of last year, a DoD intelligence official said in Washington.
Defense intelligence analysts in Washington estimate there are about 2,000 to 3,000 hard-core Taliban fighters are operating in Afghanistan, and about 100 Qa�ida combatants in and around Afghanistan, the Times said. (DKR)

MI5 CHIEF DEFENDS USE OF TORTURE -- Torturing detainees helps interrogators to obtain evidence that could save lives, Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, MI5 Director-General, has said, The Times (London) reported on 21 October.
www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,22989-1836797,00.html
Dame Eliza also said it was impossible for agencies in Britain to know if information supplied by foreign security services had been obtained by the use of torture. Trying to find out would jeopardize future relationships, she added.
She cited the example of Kamel Bourgass, a failed asylum-seeker jailed this year for killing a police officer and attempting to make the poison ricin in his London apartment.
In her statement, obtained by Channel 4 News, Dame Eliza said information about Bourgass� intentions first came from an interview conducted by Algerian security services with Mohammed Meguerba, an al-Qa�ida terrorist.
Dame Eliza�s statement was given to the House of Lords, which is considering an appeal against a ruling last year that British intelligence services can use information extracted under torture to detain suspected terrorists. The appellants are Algerians or other North Africans detained in Britain under an indefinite detention provision in a 2001 anti-terrorism law. (DKR) 

SECTION III - CYBER INTELLIGENCE

COMPUTER GAFFE COMPROMISES SYRIAN INTEL OFFICIALS - A computer gaffe that allowed recipients to track the redaction of a UN report into the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri set off a scandal at the world body on 21 October, The Times (London) reported.
www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251-1837848,00.html 
The report was drawn up by Detlev Mehlis, a German prosecutor who investigated the killing for the UN. His findings are damaging to senior Syrian and Lebanese intelligence figures. Damascus has denounced the report.
Doctoring of the report also raised questions about interference by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, who had pledged repeatedly not to make any changes in it. Computer tracking showed that the final edit began at about 11.38 a.m. on 20 October, a minute after Mehlis began a meeting with Annan to present his report. Names of the Syrian and Lebanese officials were apparently removed at 11.55 a.m., after the meeting ended.
The final version of the report quoted a witness as saying that the plot to kill Hariri was laid by unnamed senior Lebanese and Syrian officials. The report originally named them as Maher al-Assad, Assef Shawkat, Hassan Khalil, Bahjat Suleyman and Jamal al-Sayyed.
Maher is the younger brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and commands the Presidential Guard. Gen. Shawkat is married to the president�s sister, Bushra, and was appointed commander of Syrian military intelligence on 14 February this year, the day Hariri and his motorcade were blown up in Beirut. Gen. Khalil was Shawkat�s predecessor as head of MI. Until last June, Gen. Suleyman headed the internal affairs section at the General Security Department, Syria�s main civilian intelligence service. Gen. al-Sayyed is former head of Lebanon�s General Security Department and features in the Mehlis report as allegedly a ringleader in plotting the assassination.
American, British and Israeli intelligence agencies have concluded that President Assad�s position has been seriously weakened by the report�s allegations, the Sunday Times (London) reported on 23 October.
www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-1838577,00.html
While US officials were publicly adamant last week that the UN should consider punitive action against Syria, there was private concern in Washington that Assad might fall before a viable alternative regime emerged. "We don�t want chaos in Syria while we�re trying to stop chaos in Iraq," an official said.
According to senior Middle East sources, Bashar Assad was present at a meeting when Shawkat and Maher argued that Hariri should be assassinated, the Sunday Times reported. The president was said to have rejected the plan, but Shawkat and Maher allegedly went ahead. (DKR)

TECH FIRMS SEE BRITISH ID CARDS CREATING RISKS - A growing number of hi-tech firms say that rather than improving security or cutting down fraud, the British government�s proposed biometric ID card could create security risks, the Guardian (London) reported on 21 October.
www.guardian.co.uk/economicdispatch/story/0,12498,1597733,00.html 
The warnings came as the government's contentious ID cards bill cleared the House of Commons last week despite a rebellion among ruling Labor members. The measure still has to be dealt with by the House of Lords.
"If you play the guitar, if you're a mason, or when you grow old, your fingerprints can change so they do not match biometric data already stored," said Roberto Tavano, a biometrics specialist for Unisys, a US technology company that has worked on national identity schemes in South Africa and Malaysia. The British card would use face, iris and fingerprint scans to identify people.
Unisys says a central database would be out of date as soon as it was set up and would be hugely expensive to update.
"A national ID card for the UK is overly ambitious, extremely expensive and will not be a panacea against terrorism or fraud, although it will make a company like mine very happy," Tavano said.
Jerry Fishenden, national technology officer of Microsoft UK, said he was concerned with aggregating so much personal information and biometrics in a single place. "There are better ways of doing this," he said. "Even the biometrics industry says it is better to have biometrics stored locally."
Qinetiq, a defense technology company that advises the British government, said a biometric scan in the US had failed because it concluded that a man who later went bald and had a wrinkled forehead had an upside-down face.
With Britain, France and Italy all pursuing separate plans, Tavano commented, the European Union was worried about the compatibility of data retrieval from the different systems. "If you add up the costs of all the countries, it doesn't make sense," he said. (DKR)

SECTION IV -- BOOKS, SOURCES, AND ISSUES

Books

KEEPING CUBA IN THE CASTRO FAMILY - Brian Latell, After Fidel: The Inside Story of Castro's Regime and Cuba's Next Leader (Palgrave MacMillan, 288 pp. $24.95)
AFIO Board member Latell, a longtime Cuba analysts for the CIA, names Fidel�s brother, Raul, as his unquestioned successor. Raul, the world�s longest serving defense minister, has preferred to stay in the shadows despite his high position in the communist regime.
But if Raul is lackluster, this has not prevented him from sending many persons to their deaths, sometimes by his own hand. At the same time he enjoys the company of friends and family in a way that Fidel appears not to.
So what kind of leader will the enigmatic Raul prove to be? The answer, as Latell stresses, is vitally important to future US-Cuban relations. Not that Latell ignores Fidel. The reader will find valuable insights into the dictator�s character and the complex relationship between the brothers. (DKR)

RIGHTING WRONG CONDUCT OF THE WAR ON TERRORISM? - David Benjamin, Steven Simon, The Next Attack: The Failure of the War on Terror and a Strategy for Getting It Right (Times Books/Holt, 352 pp. $26)
Benjamin, a Center for Strategic and International Studies senior fellow, and Simon, an instructor at Georgetown University, open their work with the words, �We are losing,� setting the tone for their highly critical view of the Bush administration�s response to 9/11.
US policy towards the Muslim world has prepared the way for the next and following terrorist attacks while the invasion of Iraq has turned that country into a training ground for terrorists.
Independent jihadi units, not state sponsorship, is the backbone of Islamist violence and needs to be met with improved cooperation with foreign intel and law enforcement agencies and less reflexive resort to military operations, the authors believe. And let us recognize the limits of democracy as a way of solving the problems of Third World countries, Benjamin and Simon warn. (DKR)

AN ANCIENT GREEK WAR WITH LESSONS FOR TODAY - Victor Davis Hanson, A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War (Random, 400 pp. $29.95)
Hanson, a specialist in ancient Greece, offers a lucid analysis of the 27-year long struggle lost by Athens to Sparta and which, he argues, saw a shift in the conduct of war from concern with ethical means to concern with ends.
The use of hoplite infantry, guerrilla tactics, siege operations and sea battles are artfully presented.
As Hanson reminds us, this far off war continues to offer lessons worth remembering when thinking about conflicts in our own time. (DKR)

Notes:

CANADIAN INTEL SAYS IRAQ CREATES LONGER TERM PROBLEMS - The US war in Iraq was creating longer-term problems than it set out to solve, said Jim Judd, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, on 20 October, the Washington Post reported.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/20/AR2005102001988.html
Judd�s remarks were unusually critical for the intelligence head of a significant US ally, the Post commented. The Canadian government did not support the invasion of Iraq, but it has 900 troops attached to NATO operations in Afghanistan and cooperates with the United States on terrorism issues.
Iraq has become a kind of latter-day Afghanistan that is training foreign terrorists and providing a testing ground for new terrorist techniques that are being exported, said Judd.
Judd, who took over the agency last November, spoke to reporters while attending a conference of security professionals and experts in Montreal. (DKR)

NEW SAUDI INTEL CHIEF NAMED - King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has appointed his half-brother, Prince Moqrin Bin Abdul Aziz, as intelligence chief replacing Prince Nawaf who resigned nine months ago, UPI reported on 22 October.

A royal decree published on 22 October said, "His Majesty appointed Prince Moqrin as head of general intelligence at the level of minister." Moqrin, 72, governor of the province of Medina, is a certified military pilot. (DKR)

AUTHOR, INSTITUTE SEEK RECOLLECTIONS OF SIG HOXTER - An American author and a German institute which conducts research into Jewish resistance to Hitler are jointly seeking recollections of Siegfried "Sig" Hoxter, the outstanding, memorable S&T case officer at CIA's Berlin Ops Base in the early 1950s. Hoxter was one of the leaders of the early Socialist resistance to Hitler and was forced to flee Germany in the late summer of 1933, after the Gestapo arrested his closest associate. He eventually arrived in the US, joined OSS, and came back to Germany as an American officer. If you have recollections of Sig, please get in touch with Bayard Stockton at drayab@silcom.com

INFORMATION WANTED ON MERCEDES BENZ ARGENTINA DIRECTOR - A German journalist and author seeks information about William Alphonse Mosetti, a former US Army G-2 officer who was director general of Mercedes Benz Argentina from 1960 to 1975. Mosetti was born on 25 November 1914 in Trieste and became a naturalized US citizen. He joined the US Army in 1943, serving at Camp Crowder (Third Ind. Hq. Basic and Specialist Command ASFTC), then Hq. CAS APO 667, G-2-Section. His SSN was 32909050. Mosetti left the Army in 1957 after serving in Germany.  He was elected Director General of Mercedes Benz Argentina on 29 April 1960. Twelve days later, the Israelis kidnapped Adolf Eichmann, working at the time in the MBA factory, probably because Mosetti wanted to clear the factory of former SS. My request for information on Mosetti is based on the US Freedom of Information Act, international laws, Executive Orders 12937 and 13110 and the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act (Public Act 105246).

OBITUARIES

GERALD P. BUNTON - A retired CIA officer who rode bulls during his high school years, leaped out of airplanes during his Army years and twice served in Beirut when danger was at its height, died of a heart attack on 17 October at his home in Raphine, VA. He was 65, the Washington Post reported.
(www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/19/AR2005101902349_5.html)
Born in Morris, IL, he got his start in rodeo in Cody when he was 11 years old and was a bull rider on the rodeo circuit every summer through high school. After graduating from high school in 1958, he joined the 327th Airborne Battle Group of the 101st Airborne Division, serving from 1959 to 1964.
He received a bachelor's degree from Southeast Missouri State University in 1968 and a master's degree in Middle Eastern studies from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1968. The next year he joined the CIA.
His first duty assignment was Beirut in 1972. He also served in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Nairobi before returning to Beirut, where he replaced William Buckley as station chief after Buckley was kidnapped in 1984 by Islamist militants and tortured to death the following year.
Jerry Bunton spent most of his second tour searching for and trying to free Terry Waite, Terry Anderson and other hostages while keeping himself from being kidnapped.
Bunton's final duty assignment was Frankfurt before his retirement in 1992. He continued working with the agency on contract, with assignments in Bosnia, Iraq, Pakistan, Macedonia, Zimbabwe, Germany and the Czech Republic.
