| UK: Spy traitors group launched |
| 2004-09-15 |
| A former GCHQ translator who leaked details of an alleged plot to bug UN delegates before the Iraq war is urging more whistle-blowers to speak out. Katharine Gun was sacked for revealing details of a memo, but a charge under the Official Secrets Act was dropped. She has now started a campaign to encourage people who spot government wrongdoing to voice their concerns. Her Truth-Telling Coalition, which already has about 15 members, will back whistle-blowers around the world. Not 'about thirteen'! Not 'about fourteen'! But about fifteen! That's about ten more than were in the Thunderbirds! We're gonna change the world! The group is supported by the former US defence analyst Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers about US involvement in Vietnam. Ms Gun, from Cheltenham, attracted huge attention when she blew the whistle on what she believed was an American dirty tricks campaign to win UN backing for the war in Iraq. I'm assuming she missed the "What we spies do" brief during training. |

| #3 Mark, Indeed there are probably persons with high clearances that long to disclose how/where/who/when we conduct intelligence operations. There are LLL idiots in every sector of society so chances are there are some that are ‘cleared for weird’. But they know the moment the open their mouth they will be arrested, tried, and sent away. Unlike our British cousins we know what to do with treasonous scum. It’s a widely known fact that we (and ALL countries) spy on each other. We have a special relationship with the British because we share a common language, culture and it’s only normal that we would ask them to help us get information that they could get legally and we could not. Notice there was NEVER a word in Congress about making this practice illegal. That should tell you a lot about how we depend on this relationship. Ms. Moron should be deported to the Sudan where she can realize her dream and become the concubine slave of some Muslim soldier. |

| #2 In America the same treasonous 5th columnists clearly exist in the numerous, well healed, non-profit, so-called 'anti-war' groups, while others are also lurking as government employees . |
