SECTION I - CURRENT INTELLIGENCE

US INTEL SAID TO ADMIT INTERROGATIONS IN EUROPE BUT TO DENY SECRET PRISONS THERE - US intelligence officials say clandestine interrogations of captured al Qaeda and other terrorists have taken place throughout both Eastern and Western Europe, but that, contrary to widespread reports, there are no permanent secret prisons there, the Washington Times reported on 3 March.
www.washingtontimes.com/national/inring.htm
Allied European intelligence services have cooperated with the CIA and other US agencies in setting up top-secret programs that involve moving terrorists to Europe, then placing them in carefully constructed environments that are designed to make it appear that they are in a Middle Eastern nation, the Times wrote. The deception involves employing third-country nationals who are present and who speak the same language as the country being portrayed.
The terrorists are told to disclose what they know or face transfer to a government such as those in Syria, Turkey or Israel, where they can expect to be tortured or killed. The false-environment interrogation has produced valuable intelligence on al Qaeda and other Islamic plans and operations, the officials said, according to the paper.
So far, no secret prisons have been found or acknowledged by any European state, despite months of investigations, the Times said. Instead, covert flights of intelligence aircraft carrying the prisoners triggered the false speculation about the prisons, the officials said. (DKR)

DNI SEES NO RED FLAG OVER DUBAI ACQUISITION, MAPLES WARNS OF PERIL IN AFGHANISTAN - Referring to the administration's decision to allow a company owned by the Dubai government to take control of six US ports, DNI Negroponte told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the IC had reviewed the proposed deal and found the potential threat to American security to be low, the Los Angeles Times reported.
www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-usafghan1mar01,0,1566372.story?track=tothtml 
"We did not see any red flags come up in the course of our inquiry," Negroponte said, but added, "There is no such thing, in our view, as zero risk."
Also testifying before the committee, D/DIA Maples said that escalating insurgent violence in Afghanistan has placed the Karzai government there in greater peril than at any time since the aftermath of the U.S.-led invasion in 2001,
Lt. Gen. Maples said attacks in Afghanistan by remnants of the ousted Taliban government and other groups had surged 20 percent in the last year and forces loyal to the Taliban posed a persistent and growing threat. (PJK, DKR)

SECTION II - CONTEXT AND PRECEDENCE

INTEL AGENCIES WARNED IRAQI INSURGENCY HAD LOCAL ROOTS AND WOULD WORSEN - US intelligence agencies repeatedly warned the White House beginning more than two years ago that the insurgency in Iraq had deep local roots and was likely to worsen and could lead to civil war, according to former senior intelligence officials who helped craft the reports, Knight Ridder reported on 1 March.
www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/world/13988416.htm
An NIE, completed in October 2003, concluded that the insurgency was fueled by local conditions, not foreign terrorists, and drew strength from deep grievances, including the presence of US troops, according to the news organization. Existence of the estimate, subject of a bitter three-month debate among US intelligence agencies, was not previously disclosed to a wide public audience, said Knight Ridder.
The Bush administration and others continued to describe the insurgency as a threat posed mainly by former Saddam supporters, criminals and non-Iraqi terrorists while the IC warned otherwise, Knight Ridder commented.
Robert Hutchings, the chair of the National Intelligence Council from 2003 to 2005, said the October 2003 NIE was part of a steady stream of intelligence reports warning Bush and his top lieutenants that the insurgency was intensifying and expanding. (DKR)

CUNNINGHAM CASE FOLLOWED BY INVESTIGATIONS OF CIA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DOD�S CIFA - The CIA IG has launched an investigation into the agency's Executive Director, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, and his ties to a defense contractor accused of seeking to bribe former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the Los Angeles Times of 4 March reported current and former US intelligence officials as saying.
www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-cia4mar04,0,1127046story?track=tothtml
Also under investigation in connection with the Cunningham affair was DoD's Counterintelligence Field Activity, the Washington Post reported on 3 March.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/02/AR2006030201705.html
CIFA has spent more than $1 billion, mostly for outsourced services, since its establishment in September 2002, according to administration and congressional sources, the Post said.
Federal prosecutors released a letter dated 24 February from Cunningham to CIFA Director David A. Burtt II, in which the former thanked the CIFA staff for supporting a multimillion-dollar program.
CIFA was established to coordinate policy and oversee the counterintelligence activities of units within the military services and DoD agencies. According to the Post, it has grown over the past three years to become an analytic and operational organization with nine directorates and widening authority focused primarily on protecting defense facilities and personnel from terrorist attacks.
Commenting on the Foggo investigation, CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliiano said, "It is standard practice for CIA's Office of Inspector General ... an aggressive, independent watchdog ... to look into assertions that mention agency officers, That should in no way be seen as lending credibility to any allegation."
Cunningham pleaded guilty to bribery charges and was sentenced on 3 March to eight years and four months in prison.
Before his promotion to the agency's Number 3 spot in late 2004, Foggo was a senior procurement officer in Frankfurt where he was in a position to oversee contracts for supplies distributed to agency operatives in Iraq and elsewhere, the Los Angeles paper said. Foggo was reported to have close ties to Poway, CA, defense contractor Brent Wilkes, said to be a key figure in the Cunningham criminal bribery probe.
Foggo joined the CIA in 1982 and continues as Executive Director during the investigation. (DKR)

SECTION III - CYBER INTELLIGENCE

DOD INFORMATION CIO CALLS FOR SPEEDIER ACQUISITION SYSTEM - Defense Information Systems Agency CIO John Garang has declared it is a moral injustice when speed of delivery for troops in harm's way on the battlefield lags woefully behind available technology and has called for a speedier acquisition system, GCN.com reported on 7 March.
www.gcn.com/online/vol1_no1/40060-1.html 
Saying acquisition reform is something DoD has talked about for at least two decades, Garang told a FOSE trade show that cultural challenges are preventing speeding up the department's acquisition processes. Also slowing the acquisition process for defense IT systems was that DoD expects its agencies to lay out a program's requirements years before the program is even developed, Garang added. (DKR)

UN TO STAGE INTERNET GOVERNANCE FORUM - UN SG Kofi Annan has announced he would create a forum "for a more inclusive dialogue" on Internet policy, govtech.net reported on 3 March.
www.govtech.net/magazine/channel_story.php/98648
Annan is to set up a secretariat in Geneva to assist in convening an Internet Governance Forum. The secretariat will be headed by Markus Kummer, executive coordinator of Annan's Secretariat of the Working Group on Internet Governance.
In November, the UN said that a non-profit US Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers will remain in charge of technical management of the Internet, though individual countries will manage their own country-code domains. The first meeting of the forum was expected to take place later this year in Athens. (DKR)

SUN GRID SAID DELAYED BY STATE'S SECURITY WORRIES - State department security concerns have delayed rollout of Sun Microsystems Inc.'s computer grid, which is to supply processing and storage capabilities for $1 per hour, according to a Sun executive, Computerworld.com reported.
www.computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/hardware/story/0,10801,109185,00.html
Customers who buy access to the grid wait 24 hours before using it so that Sun can ensure that they are not in violation of export controls as certain countries are not allowed access, according to State Department rules.
Sun had planned to implement the grid in early 2005, but worries at State and other issues caused delay and caused changes to the plan, said Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's president and chief operating officer, told the press on 24 February. (DKR)

SECTION IV -- BOOKS, SOURCES, AND ISSUES

Books

'DOUBLE CROSS,' DOUBLE AGENTS - Hervie Haufler, The Spies Who Never Were: The True Story of the Nazi Spies Who Were Actually Allied Double Agents (New American Library, paperback, 240 pp. $14)
Haufler begins before World War II with British Intelligence turning Arthur George Owens, a Welsh engineer working for the Nazis. Owens's conversion prompted formation of Britain's Twenty Committee to control such agents. The committee was also known as XX or Double Cross.
Among those pressed into service was Dusko Popov, a Yugoslav said to be Ian Fleming�s model for James Bond. Then there was Elvira Chaudoir, the daughter of a Peruvian diplomat, and a Spaniard, Juan Pujol, known for his skill in disguise. All told, 120 people became double agents, some for short periods, others for the duration of the war. (DKR)

ISLAMISM AS A REACTION TO THE WEST - Olivier Roy, Globalized Islam: The Search for a New Ummah (Columbia University Press, 368 pp. paperback $18.95)
Roy, an eminent French sociologist who has closely studied Islam and Islamism, describes the present work as a sequel to his earlier Failure of Political Islam in which he argued that the conceptual framework of Islamist parties was unable to provide an effective blueprint for an Islamic state. Here he extends that argument by reference to the impact of jihadi movements, like al-Qa'ida, and the development among the Ummah (the worldwide Muslim community) of immigrant groups in the West.
In his view, Muslim neofundamentalism, aimed at Islamizing society from the bottom up, has superseded revolutionary Islamism following its failure to capture political power and impose its ideas from the top down. Among those drawn to the 'bottom up' outlook are alienated children and grand children of Muslim minorit9ies living in secular countries. Muslims making up that diaspora constitutes a third of the religion's total following of something like 1.3 billion people.
The root causes of the social upheaval in the Muslim world, and jihadi reaction against the West, as Roy sees it, is in fact the deepening Westernization of Muslim societies. Ironically, this Westernization affects the jihadi movement itself. The real genesis of al-Qa'ida violence, Roy proposes, has more to do with a Western tradition of individual and pessimistic revolt than with the Koranic conception of martyrdom. (DKR)

A GUIDE TO THE COLD WAR - John Lewis Gaddis, The Cold War: A New History (Penguin Press, 352 pp. $27.95)
In a concisely written narrative, Gaddis, a Yale historian, charts the history of the Cold War. He recognizes the positive contributions Thatcher, Reagan and Pope John Paul II made to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
He also draws a sympathetic portrait of Gorbachev who he finds "the most deserving recipient ever of the Nobel Peace Prize." It is an opinion that all will not share about the Soviet leader, nor about the merits of the peace prize. (DKR)

Issues

STATE'S INR WARNED OF POSSIBLE HAMAS VICTORY - A poll with questions written by the Office of Research, part of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, warned days before January's Palestinian elections that the militant Islamic group Hamas was in a position to win, Knight Ridder reported on 3 March.
www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/14012534.htm
Secretary Rice said after the election that State had no advance indication of a major Hamas triumph.
The survey of 1,000 Palestinians ages 18 and over, with a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points, was commissioned by State and conducted 13 to15 January by a local organization, using the INR questions. It found that Hamas had been gaining support in previous months and was running neck-and-neck with the secular Fatah party. The poll was distributed within the State department on 19 January, six days before the elections, Knight Ridder said. (DKR)

Notes

TWO-YEAR VETERAN OF CIA ALLEGES GOSS APPLIES PRESSURE TO SLOW PUBLICATIONS REVIEWS - T.J. Waters, who served with the CIA for two years, is suing the agency for ordering dozens of deletions in his book on spy training after, he says, it initially approved the text, the BBC reported on 6 March.
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4778680.stm
Waters believes D/CIA Goss opposes agency members writing books and has put the publications review staff under pressure to slow the process of reviewing them for publication, the BBC said. CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Dyck denied this: "The goal is to clear manuscripts as quickly as possible, but more complex books that get into classified details do take longer."
Waters, 40, alleges the CIA is violating his free speech. He belonged to the agency's first post-9/11 class, employed by it between 2002 and 2004. His book chronicles his year at The Farm.
Waters said he submitted the book, Class 11: Inside the CIA's First Post-9/11 Spy Class, to the agency in May 2004, and that four months later only a few words were blocked from publication. But, he says, last month, it informed him that further deletions would be needed, many of them involving previously cleared material. (DKR)

KAZAKHSTAN GETS NEW INTELLIGENCE BOSS - The Kazakh Senate on 2 March unanimously approved the personal security boss of President Nursultan Nazarbayev as the country's new intelligence chief, RFE/RL reported.

The AFIO membership is invited to attend this conference -- one of the most important conferences on maritime security being held in 2006. Recent events highlight the significant concerns of Congress and the business community about our ability to protect the commercial maritime sector of our critical national infrastructure. As AFIO members know, an effective security program includes a process for the efficient collection, analysis, and transmission of information upon which appropriate steps may be taken to detect, deter, or respond to credible threats.  The conference will be attended by representatives of the international maritime community. An assembly of some of the world�s leading experts on maritime security will address challenges and outline possible solutions to ongoing maritime security requirements, and their effects on contracting governments, the international maritime community, and the economies of the countries they serve.

10 October 06 - Tampa, FL- AFIO Suncoast Chapter meets at 11:30 a.m. at the Officers� Club, at MacDill Air Force Base. The luncheon speaker is Billy Waugh who was wounded five times in his seven and a half years as a Green Beret in Vietnam. Many of these years were spent behind enemy lines as part of SOG, a top secret group of elite commandos. Sergeant Major Billy Waugh retired in 1972 to continue his craft as an independent contractor with the CIA. In 1994, Waugh was the team leader of a four-man CIA group that laid the groundwork for the capture of Carlos the Jackal, the world's most wanted man at the time. At the age of 71 shortly after 9/11, he was one of the first on the ground as a team member of a combined Special Forces/CIA takedown unit inside Afghanistan. Earlier Waugh had kept surveillance on Osama bin Laden in Khartoum in 1991 and again in 1992 as one of the first CIA operatives assigned to watch the al Qaeda leader.

20-21 October 06 - Lubbock, TX - The Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University and the Center for the Study of Intelligence (CSI) will co-host a conference on "Intelligence in the Vietnam War," which will be held in Lubbock, Texas, at the Holiday Inn Park Plaza. The purpose of this conference is to examine intelligence activities in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and elsewhere as they impacted the Vietnam War. We welcome papers that discuss intelligence analysis and operations from all sides of the conflict and desire presentations that discuss US, RVN, DRV, VC, USSR, PRC, Warsaw Pact, and other intelligence activities as they related to the Vietnam War. While the focus will remain on historical events, it is our distinct hope that appropriate historical lessons might be drawn of more immediate application to current wars and conflicts. To that end, we are seeking paper and panel proposals on all subjects related to Intelligence in the Vietnam War to include but not limited to the following topics: Intelligence and counter-intelligence operations to include human, electronic, signals, and imagery intelligence; Terrorism and counter-terrorism; Infiltration operations into North Vietnam, the Viet Cong infrastructure, and elsewhere; Psychological operations; The Phoenix Program, Provincial Reconnaissance Units, and other attempts to neutralize the VCI; Rolling Thunder, enemy order of battle, the will to persist, and other analytical issues; Inter-agency cooperation and conflict between the CIA, DIA, and other intelligence organizations; The politics of intelligence (e.g. the producer v. the consumer in the development of estimative products); the use of RAND and other private analytical resources as intelligence; etc... This conference will offer students, scholars, intelligence officials, policy makers, and others with an excellent opportunity to discuss and learn from intelligence activities from America's longest war along with the many issues that surrounded these complex activities and events. If you are interested in providing either an individual presentation or a panel discussion, please submit a proposal (single page or less) to Mr. Stephen Maxner, Deputy Director at the Vietnam Center at steve.maxner@ttu.edu or call (806) 742-9010 for more information.
