... secret police, SAVAK, Ghorbanifar enjoyed 'access to Iranian underworld characters of various illicit hues', according to a CIA report.(3) A preliminary study of Irangate issued in 1987 by the Senate Intelligence Committee observed that Ghorbanifar had once offered to swap intelligence on Iran for protection of the 'drug smuggling activities' of several of his close associates.(4) Although George protested to CIA Director William Casey that he was 'not going to run this guy', North liked Ghorbanifar's 'neat idea' of diverting arms profits to the ...

... most of the 1960s leapt to $3.9 billion in 1973, then to $8.3 billion in 1974, after the oil price increases of 1973 put new dollar surpluses in the hands of the OPEC countries- including three of the four new U.S. superclient states (Iran, Nigeria and Indonesia). This swelling of the international arms trade also pumped new resources into the hands of the international sales and payoff system which had grown up to market such sales. Most of these arms traffickers were recruited from the international right-wing and/ ...

... or H.O. Yardley. But as he reaches the post WW2 world, ideology begins to dominate. He writes (p 167): 'The essential idea behind U.S. foreign policy in the 1950s was the defence of democracy. But in order to "save" Iran and Guatemala from the tendentious threat of communism, the CIA conspired to over-throw the democratic government in those two countries, condemning local people to decades of autocratic misrule.' I wonder how long it took him to come up with 'autocratic misrule' as a description ...

... Hugh Sinclair, who had distinguished SIS family connections, comes to mind. Dorril does mention lawyer Michael Palmer who, and in a different context, hit the headlines eighteen months ago.
