Take a look at a new blog (new to me, at least)–and an interesting one–by someone who claims to be a former US military intelligence officer. I like the title: In From the Cold, paraprasing the John Le Carre novel (via Roger Simon).
The blogger’s pseudonum is “Spook 86″ (his age? the year he came in from the cold?) See what you think.
Light blogging day. I’ve been traveling–will fill you in later.

Spook 86 is the real deal.

I would like to suggest that “Spook 86″ is probably a take-off on “Agent 86,” i.e., Maxwell Smart on the old TV show “Get Smart.”

Neo, Blogger/or other reasons seems to have this site down.
I’ve tried the link using Yahoo with same results.

Ive long suspected our intelligence agencies, especially the CIA but the others too, have been compromised because they are all filled with spies, at the highest as well as the lowest levels. Spook 86 confirms these fears. I suspect also that some of the more prominent journalist-reporter-critics of the administration are in collusion with these same spies. It was no accident that a known hater of Bush was sent to Niger to investigate the purchase of yellow cake. They dont even bother with subtleties anymore.

Longtime fan of Spook86 and IFTC. Good site, no BS. Measured thought and rational exposition. Good intel, (probably worked J2 at one of the Unified Commands).
Get the facts (and informed opinion) straight from the source. Support MilBlogs. -cp

I think overall the US Intelligence community is too draconian when it comes to breaches of security.
