Shackley, Theodore. Shadid, Anthony, and Daniel Williams. "U.S. Recruiting Hussein's Spies." Washington Post, 24 Aug. 2003, A1. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
According to U.S. and Iraqi officials, "U.S.-led occupation authorities have begun a covert campaign to recruit and train agents with the once-dreaded Iraqi intelligence service to help identify resistance to American forces." Although it is not the only target of the U.S. effort, "[t]he emphasis in recruitment appears to be on the intelligence service known as the Mukhabarat," the former regime's foreign intelligence service and the "most sophisticated of the four" branches in Hussein's former security service.

Varner, Military Review (Jan.-Feb. 2011), notes that because of redactions, "this book only hints at the story Shaffer would like to tell.... Shaffer gained some notoriety for his 2006 testimony before Congress that he was part of the SOCOM-led Able Danger task force. This effort purportedly identified two of the 9/11 cells as well as Mohamed Atta over a year before the world learned of them.... Much of Shaffer's narrative reads like a made-for-TV movie script.... Shaffer's story has made him a cult hero within conspiracy theory circles." He "writes almost ponderously."

Christensen, Cryptologia 34.3 (Jul. 2010), notes that this story "is told well and compactly elsewhere."

Marston, Baltimore Sun, 19 Jan. 2002, finds this "a highly readable account that strips away Good Bob's straight-arrow facade, to reveal a Bad Bob who betrayed his country on an unprecedented scale." For Weinstein, Washington Post, 20 Jan. 2002, the authors provide "a detailed and meticulous chronological tracing of Hanssen's life and times, from cradle to capture." Peake, Intelligencer 13.1, says this is "easy reading and informative." To Bath, NIPQ 18.4, the authors, in their rush to get this book quickly onto the market, "mak[e] suppositions little supported by evidence," which do not look very good in the light of later materials.

The Yemeni government "has quietly allowed the FBI to open an office in its capital city, San'a." Along with the CIA and the U.S. military, the FBI "is urgently trying to disrupt efforts" by al-Qaeda fighters "to reconstitute command and control structures in parts of rural Yemen controlled by clans hostile to the government in San'a and sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden." [Clark comment: And the military and CIA cannot do this because they lack the FBI's experience overseas?]

Shannon, Elaine, and Jay Carney. "10 Questions for Karen Hughes." Time, 20 Feb. 2006, 8.
Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Karen Hughes is quoted as saying, "if we walked down [to the State Department's new media-monitoring unit], you's see live what's happening on Arab TV. We have a young man who's watching the blogs, the Web chats.... That unit publishes a daily rapid-response report. It goes to all the Cabinet secretaries and all our ambassadors."
Clark comment: This illustrates one of the problems the Open Source Center will face. Whether a proliferation of small units performing overlapping open-source functions is the best use of limited resources is open to debate.
