RE: Real-life Espionage Incidents Discussion
It seems that it is such a shame that nobody can work out what the code means. But there again it could be complete nonsense and no help in finding his killer.

RE: Real-life Espionage Incidents Discussion
A couple of articles about a real life espionage incident from recently released ASIO (Australia's equivalent to MI5) files. Suspicions not followed up for political reasons - Australian politician, Russian and French diplomats ...

Haha, Nixie! I was coming on to post the same thing! Although the (*eh-hem!* - American) newscast I heard it on, called it M16 (M-sixteen). *sigh!* Barbarians! Rolleyes

Off to email said radio broadcast to correct them.

The DHS certainly screwed up, but maybe the FBI did something right this time?

Sounds like a good Spooks plot to me, e.g. holes in the fabric of the refugee relocation program. Does the UK have one specifically for Iraqi's affected by the war over there?

This is no so much an incident as an event! Article about a book about to be published about the super secret Australian/US spy base, Pine Gap.

RE: Real-life Espionage Incidents Discussion
Interesting article. I remember hearing about the Blueberry encrypted messages and thinking that M15 must be helping out with that. Hopefully they have a Tariq or Malcolm ^_^

An interesting article from the BBC News website. I think the 'salaried schizophrenia' comment sums it up pretty well what they do.

This is old but I don't think it has been mentioned yet. Stewart David Nozette reached a plea deal yesterday so it's back in the news.
