[…] this isn’t it. West’s determination to stay on-side with his state informants prevents him from doing anything credible. In a comment on Stephen Dorril’s new book about MI6 on intelforum (www.intelforum.org) West concluded with this: ‘Dorril’s book resembles (sic), in my judgment, a useful work of reference for what has appeared in the newspapers’.

[…] Warren Commission about an apparent plot to kill JFK in early November 1963 in Chicago. The report said that they had been allowed to do this in return for information on Turkish drug traffickers.

[…] and their efficiency, my thanks. This issue contains a striking example of how the world has changed. Which newspaper has been running stories about alleged involvement of MI6 in the assassination of Princess Diana? That famous lefty rag, The Daily Express.
