SIGINT in the Arts: Exhibition at the Smithsonian

Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen. Trevor Paglen blurs the lines between art, science, and investigative journalism to construct unfamiliar and at times unsettling ways to see and interpret the world around us. Inspired by the landscape tradition, he captures the same horizon seen by American photographers Timothy O'Sullivan in the nineteenth century and Ansel Adams in the twentieth. Only in Paglen's photographs is the infrastructure of surveillance also apparent---a classified military installation, a spy satellite, a tapped communications cable, a drone, an artificial intelligence (AI). Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen is a mid-career survey, the first exhibition to present Paglen's early photographic series alongside his recent sculptural objects and new work with AI. It carries on the long history of programs by the Smithsonian American Art Museum examining America's changing relationship to the landscape. With this presentation, SAAM is contributing to the important and ongoing conversation about privacy and surveillance in contemporary society. Paglen's photographs show something we are not meant to see, whose concealment he regards as symptomatic of the historical moment we inhabit. His objects act in opposition to what his images have exposed, imagining another and potentially different world. Paglen is a conceptual artist with activist intentions. Helping to better see the particular moment we live in and producing spaces in which to envision alternative futures are among his chief concerns. Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen is organized by John Jacob, SAAM's McEvoy Family Curator for Photography, and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. FREE PUBLIC PROGRAMS June 20, 6:30 p.m. - Artist Lecture with Trevor Paglen

Books of the Week

Best of Enemies: The Last Great Spy Story of the Cold War
by Gus Russo and Eric Dezenhall
(Twelve Publications,Oct 2018)

In 1978, CIA operations officer/maverick Jack Platt and KGB agent Gennady Vasilenko were new arrivals on the Washington, DC intelligence scene, with Jack working out of the CIA's counterintelligence office and Gennady out of the Soviet Embassy. Both men, notorious iconoclasts, were assigned to seduce the other into betraying his country in the urgent final days of the Cold War; instead, they became the best of friends. A friendship that never should have happened. Their story is one of treachery, comic misunderstandings, bureaucratic inanity, the Russian Mafia, and landmark intelligence breakthroughs of the past half century. These two espionage cowboys reveal how they became behind-the-scenes players in solving some celebrated 20th century spy stories, including the discovery of the Soviet mole Robert Hanssen, the 2010 spy swap which freed Gennady from Soviet imprisonment, and how Robert De Niro played a real-life role in helping Gennady stay alive during his incarceration in Russia after being falsely accused of spying for the Americans. Through their eyes, we see the distinctions between the Russian and American methods of conducting espionage and the painful birth of the new Russia, whose leader, Vladimir Putin, dreams he can roll back to the ideals of the old USSR.

Beirut Rules: The Murder of a CIA Station Chief and Hezbollah's War Against America
by Fred Burton and Samuel Katz
(Berkley, Oct 2018)

After a deadly terrorist bombing at the American embassy in Lebanon in 1983, only one man inside the CIA possessed the courage and skills to rebuild the networks destroyed in the blast: William Buckley. But the new Beirut station chief quickly became the target of a young terrorist named Imad Mughniyeh. Beirut Rules is the account of Buckley's abduction, torture, and murder at the hands of Hezbollah terrorists. Draws on declassified documents as well as interviews with Buckley's co-workers, friends, and family, Burton and Katz reveal how the relentless search for Buckley in the wake of his kidnapping ignited a war against terror that continues to shape the Middle East to this day.

Section III - COMMENTARY

NEW POLL: Glasnost for US Intelligence: Will Transparency Lead to Increased Public Trust?

Earlier this month, the Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs published our report on the first round of a polling project sponsored by the Texas National Security Network aimed at shedding light on Americans' perceptions of our intelligence agencies and testing the claim that efforts by these agencies to be more open will enhance their democratic legitimacy. (The full report, including survey methodology, poll results, and limited policy analysis is available here.)

The good news from this initial report is that the intelligence community is generally viewed by the public as effective, particularly in preventing acts of terrorism. But, Americans remain largely unconvinced that these agencies respect their privacy and civil liberties while undertaking this necessary work. Americans are not inclined to extend these same rights to foreigners whose communications may be subject to U.S. surveillance, as required by current policy. And, despite more than a decade of vigorous public debate over controversial intelligence programs, we discovered that few Americans actually understand the institutional framework for supervising and overseeing U.S. intelligence.

Key takeaways of the poll: • Americans generally regard the intelligence community as effective, particularly in preventing terrorism and learning the plans of hostile powers. • Americans are less convinced the intelligence community is respectful of privacy and civil liberties. • Less informed Americans, particularly younger people, were less likely to view the intelligence community as effective. • Americans broadly were supportive of the intelligence community using all lawful means to acquire intelligence, but were divided on the need for surrendering privacy rights. • Republicans were even more likely than Democrats or Independents to say the intelligence community helps the country produce sound foreign policies. • Though less than a majority, Democrats were more likely than Republicans or Independents to support protecting the privacy rights of foreigners.

The Spies Have A Leading Role In The North Korea Summit.  When Mike Pompeo became CIA director last year, he immediately set his sights on North Korea and its opaque nuclear program.

"Within weeks of me coming here, I created a Korea Mission Center, stood it up with a senior leader who had just retired, brought him back to run the organization," Pompeo said in January.

He didn't name that senior leader, but was referring to Andrew Kim, a Korean-American who grew up in South Korea.

President Trump was clearly impressed with Pompeo's initiative on North Korea, and sent him there - reportedly with Andrew Kim - on a secret trip in April to lay the groundwork for the possible summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. If the summit happens, it would be the first meeting between leaders of the two countries.  [Read More:  Myre/wbur/1June2018]

How Sweden is Preparing for Russia to Hack its Election.  Russia has been repeatedly accused of interfering in recent elections. But Sweden is determined it won't fall victim to any such meddling - with millions of leaflets being distributed and propaganda-spotting lessons for students.

As campaigning intensified in the French election, the team of now President Emmanuel Macron said it was a target for "fake news" by Russian media and the victim of "hundreds if not thousands" of cyber-attacks from inside Russia.

In Washington, sanctions were recently imposed on 19 Russians accused of interference in the 2016 US election and "destructive" cyber-attacks.

While the Kremlin denies interfering in foreign elections - with Vladimir Putin saying there is "nothing to discuss" - concerns remain.  [Read More:  Brattberg, Maurer/bbc/31May2018]

Secrets of a Successful Spy Marriage.  Over its six seasons, "The Americans" has dramatized the tension between effective espionage and a happy marriage for a fictional KGB couple. For the Soviet bloc intelligence services, who regularly sent couples across the Iron Curtain as deep cover spies, this tension was more than dramatic fodder. It was a serious operational problem.

To manage this problem, a manual I found in the archive of the East German Ministry for State Security, the KGB franchise better known as the Stasi, shows that spy couples were selected and trained as much for their marital strength as their tradecraft.

Among socialist spies, the Stasi stole the show when it came to infiltrating "illegal residents" into West Germany. This strength arose from constraints: Without diplomatic recognition until the mid-1970s, East Germany did not have embassies in the West from which to run "legal residences." But it was easy to pose as a political refugee from the East. There were also no language difference. Disguised as everyday West Germans, many stole secrets for decades, serving as the backbone for the Stasi's spy operations against the West.

These illegal residents recruited and managed human sources abroad. Residents could also gather information directly by penetrating Western governmental institutions. The most infamous of these residents rose to become a top aide to the West German chancellor. By the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Stasi's foreign branch had more than 30 illegal residents serving in the Federal Republic.  [Read More:  Bollfrass/warontherocks/30May2018]

In Defense of the CIA's Moral Compass.  In a recent op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, titled 'At the CIA, Immorality Is Part of the Job', a retired lawyer and former commissioner for Major League Baseball, Mr. Fay Vincent, opined about the CIA's history and culture, finding it a "farce" to even talk about morality.  His position was that CIA officers do not, and should not, consider themselves bound by conventional morals, as their profession is inherently amoral.  Mr. Vincent appears to know little about the CIA, has never served there, and is flat wrong.

CIA officers, by virtue of the Agency's history and culture, rigorous training, continued oversight from both within and outside the Agency, are intensely aware of the criticality of morality.  They recognize that intelligence and espionage function at the border of legality, in a secret and compartmented world.  They are well aware that a secret intelligence service can be a danger to democracy, and that the skills of the trade; clandestinity and obfuscation, could, if misused, insulate them from consequences.  As a result - something I witnessed first-hand - American professional intelligence officers treasure, guard and cherish their morality.

On my very first day at CIA, I participated in the various rituals of "Entry on Duty."  These varied from the mundane (filling out insurance forms) to inspiring (taking an oath to support the Constitution and being sworn in).  One of the very first speakers, a veteran agency officer, asked a provocative question of my group of newly-inducted officers: "what is the difference between the job you have taken and a similar job with the KGB?"  An impassioned discussion followed.   We all realized that it wasn't how we do the business of espionage (we differ, but the basics of espionage and the concepts of intelligence are the same worldwide); and it wasn't that American policy, which we would help inform, was "better."  The difference was two-fold.  The first has been embodied in our oath - we are a service that obeys the Constitution, and the laws that flow from it.   There was no "higher oath" (as Mr. Vincent posits) which trumps the Constitution or law.

The second difference was less rigid, more ambiguous, but equally important.  It was the idea that the ship we would be joining would be sailing dark waters, often on the edge of moral maps - and thus we were honor bound to cherish and follow our moral compasses.  Morality was central.   We would be lying, and concealing, "recruiting spies and stealing secrets."  We would often be in uncharted waters.  We would need those compasses.  [Read More:  Cash/thecipherbrief/31May2018]

Obituaries

Frank Charles Carlucci III, 87, former Deputy Director CIA, Secretary of Defense, and Diplomat, AFIO Honorary Board Member, died 3 June 2018 in McLean, VA of complications related to Parkinson's disease.

He graduated Princeton in 1952 with a degree in international relations. After two years in the Navy, he spent a year in a two-year MBA program at Harvard and also began an executive training program at the Jantzen swimsuit company before deciding that this, too, was not for him. Long interested in foreign affairs, in 1956 he joined the Foreign Service and was sent to Congo in 1960 at the cusp of its independence from Belgium. That November, he helped save from an angry mob a carload of Americans whose vehicle had struck and killed a Congolese bicyclist in the capital of Léopoldville. He returned to Washington in 1962 and took over the Congo desk at the State Department. Passing through Washington in 1969 after working at the embassy in Brazil, Mr. Carlucci got together with his former college wrestling pal, Donald Rumsfeld, who was head of the Office of Economic Opportunity, and persuaded him to become deputy director for operations at the anti-poverty agency. Over the next two years, Carlucci became the deputy to Weinberger, who led first the Office of Management and Budget and then the old Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

Upon his return from Portugal in 1978, Carlucci accepted an assignment from President Jimmy Carter to serve as deputy CIA director, under Stansfield Turner. Carlucci took over the day-to-day operational control while Turner focused on firing more than 200 experienced spies, some of them station chiefs in Eastern Europe, so that he could turn their resources over to reliance on satellites. Mr. Carlucci's willingness to use human operatives as well as satellites for intelligence gathering and covert action was credited with helping ease the tension.

When President Reagan tapped Weinberger to run the Pentagon in 1981, the new defense secretary insisted on having Mr. Carlucci as his No. 2. Carlucci left DOD in 1982 and joined Sears, Roebuck & Co., where Rumsfeld was on the board, and accepted the presidency of a new export services firm called Sears World Trade, based in Washington. The job made him a wealthy man, but the company never turned a profit, and Sears folded it. In 1986, he returned to government amid scandal at the National Security Council during the Iran Contra scandal. In the search for a new national security adviser, Carlucci was the unanimous recommendation of Weinberger, Secretary of State George P. Shultz, CIA Director William Casey and Attorney General Edwin Meese III.

Assuming control at the NSC, Mr. Carlucci returned it to its traditional role as "a staff arm" to coordinate policy, and not as an action agency. During his year in the job he fired 24 of the 59 professional staffers, eliminated Oliver North's political-military section, and appointed a full-time general counsel reporting directly to him. Carlucci named Colin L. Powell as his deputy.

Carlucci became defense secretary in 1987 and over the next two years instituted painful budget cuts and base closings as the Cold War wound down and the country entered an economic slump. After retiring from public service in 1989, Carlucci joined the Carlyle Group and led the new private-equity firm into defense industry investments that reaped sizable profits. He later became chairman and, in 2003, chairman emeritus. Mr. Carlucci's first marriage, to Jean Anthony, ended in divorce. In 1976, he married Marcia McMillan Myers. In addition to his wife, survivors include two children from his first marriage, a daughter from his second marriage, a sister, and other family.  [Read More:  dignitymemorial/4June2018 and WashPost and NYTimes]

Rita Meade Kirkpatrick, 95, served in OSS and CIA, died 18 May 2018 in Middleburg, VA she was a graduate of the University of Iowa. Beginning in 1944, she served in the Office of Strategic Services, later the CIA, retiring in 1965 as an executive assistant. In OSS she met the man who became her husband, Lyman B. Kirkpatrick Jr, who rose to become inspector general and executive director of the CIA. Following her husband's retirement from the CIA, she followed him to Rhode Island, where he was a Distinguished University Professor of political science at Brown. They settled in Middleburg after his retirement from Brown. She is survived by a sister and four stepchildren.

Dorothy Bragdon McCormick, 96, an educator who served in OSS, died 11 April 2018 in McLean, VA. Dorothy was educated in the Philippines where her father served on the staff of General Douglas MacArthur, and at several other military postings around the world. Ultimately she settled in Washington, DC, near to her father, who was classmate, close friend, and advisor to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Dorothy graduated from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in 1942. Following college, she was commissioned in the US Navy (WAVEs), attaining the rank of Lieutenant, JG, privileged as one of the few armed female naval couriers. Upon the conclusion of WWII, she entered service in the OSS. Dorothy married a well-known Republican political leader and strategist and transitioned to role of mother, homemaker, and volunteer for various organizations, including docent at the Smithsonian Institution Museum of Natural History. In 1960, Dorothy formed a play group for the children of friends which evolved into the creation of Country Play School in 1964, situated in the lower level of the family home. By 1971, the school moved to larger quarters in McLean, VA and became the Country Day School where it served generations of children as a center of early childhood education. During her stewardship of the school, Dorothy earned a master's degree in early childhood education from Wheelock College. She received numerous awards for her educational achievements. Dorothy retired in 2002. She is survived by six children and other family.

Tuesday, 10 July 2018, 6:45 pm - Washington, DC - "The Cambridge Five: Soviet Intelligence Spies" discussed by author Calder Walton at the Smithsonian

Kim Philby's name is almost synonymous with Soviet espionage. But Philby was not alone: Along with Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross, he was one of five "Cambridge spies" who penetrated the heart of British intelligence at the height of the Cold War. Using recently declassified British, American, and Soviet intelligence records, Calder Walton, Ernest May Fellow in history and policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, explores the lives and treachery of these British elites from Cambridge University recruited into Soviet intelligence in the 1930s. He examines why they betrayed their homeland for Russia, how close British intelligence came to catching them, reveals another hitherto-undisclosed Soviet spy recruited from Cambridge, and evidence for a similar Soviet espionage ring at Oxford. Walton assesses the damage the Cambridge spies did to the British secret state, and to Britain's closest intelligence ally, the United States. He also sees the story as more than ancient history, and discusses how the legacy of the Cambridge spies is still reflected in contemporary Russian intelligence operations.

Walton is the author Empire of Secrets: British intelligence, the Cold War and the Twilight of Empire [Overlook Pr, 2013].

Gift Suggestions:

AFIO's 788-page Guide to the Study of Intelligence. Peter C. Oleson, Editor, also makes a good gift. View authors and table of contents here.

Perfect for professors, students, those considering careers in intelligence, and current/former officers seeking to see what changes are taking place across a wide spectrum of intelligence disciplines.

AFIO's Guide to the Study of Intelligence helps instructors teach about the large variety of subjects that make up the field of intelligence. This includes secondary school teachers of American History, Civics, or current events and undergraduate and graduate professors of History, Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies, and related topics, especially those with no or limited professional experience in the field. Even those who are former practitioners are likely to have only a limited knowledge of the very broad field of intelligence, as most spend their careers in one or two agencies at most and may have focused only on collection or analysis of intelligence or support to those activities.

For a printed, bound copy, it is $95 which includes Fedex shipping to a CONUS (US-based) address.
