Sadly, they do not suggest that Al-Qeada are an invention of the CIA, and instead suggest they are actually a serious threat.

Just seven pages long but classified as "UK Top Secret", this latest intelligence assessment on al-Qaeda is so sensitive that every document is numbered and marked "for UK/US/Canadian and Australian eyes only", according to our correspondent.


The two reports were assessments made by the government's Joint Intelligence Committee.

One, on Iraq's security forces, was commissioned by the Ministry of Defence. According to the BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner, it included a top-secret and in some places "damning" assessment of Iraq's security forces,

The other document, reportedly entitled 'Al-Qaeda Vulnerabilities', was commissioned jointly by the Foreign Office and the Home Office... According to reports, this document may have contained details of names of individuals or locations which might have been useful to Britain's enemies.


The global elite are very lucky they only leave their bogus security reports on train platforms aren't they? Imagine if they were as incompetent at keeping a secret as these patsies are..

Woo-hoo, a job's about to come open at nWo UK. I'm putting in for a transfer. :)

Wow, that's like a serious lapse in concentration to accidentally leave classified documents on a train. It sounds like something I would do which is why I don't work at Langley.........or is that just what I want you to think?:wink:

The mark "for UK/US/Canadian and Australian eyes only" suggests the information came from ECHELON.

You really don't want to put money on how quickly it became a claim that the "real" perps left it there to be found to throw all those Hardly Boys off the scent, do you?

Now I am singing the tune from the episode of Arrested Development called 'For British Eyes Only'.

IIRC in Looming Towers they mention a FBI man in the late 90s who lost a briefcase with sensitive material in it.

I lost a briefcase on a bus once.

Did anyone check for a trail of bread crumbs?

And just to remind you of how good governments are at doing sooper-sikrit stuff, these are the guys that won the cold war.

Are you thinking of John O'Neill?

Last month, F.B.I. sources confirmed that Mr. O'Neill was under investigation after he left a briefcase containing classified information unattended in a hotel in Tampa, Fla., last year. Source (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9407E4DF173AF930A1575AC0A9679C8B 63)

He is.

In a sad irony, O'Neill was killed on 9/11 a month after starting his new job as Chief of Security for the World Trade Center.

Ditto. That was the first thing that came to mind.

Why didn't the Top Secret files self destruct like on mission impossible?

[timhau]

Why didn't the Top Secret files self destruct like on mission impossible?

Because they were fakes uh, don't do that in real life.

You're joking? Seriously you're joking.

That would be John O'Neill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_P._O%27Neill), a character straight out of Tom Clancy-type fiction.

There's a really good Frontline documentary about him here:
