  • Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali, Art Buchwald, Frank Church, Et Al
    Prominent Critics of Vietnam War Targeted by NSA: Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali, Art Buchwald, Frank Church, et al. By Matthew M. Aid and William Burr Region: USA Global Research, September 27, 2013 Theme: History, Intelligence, US NATO War The National Security Archive 25 September Agenda 2013 During the height of the Vietnam War protest movements in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the National Security Agency tapped the overseas communications of selected prominent Americans, most of whom were critics of the war, according to a recently declassified NSA history. For years those names on the NSA’s watch list were secret, but thanks to the decision of an interagency panel, in response to an appeal by the National Security Archive, the NSA has released them for the first time. The names of the NSA’s targets are eye- popping. Civil rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King and Whitney Young were on the watch list, as were the boxer Muhammad Ali,New York Times journalist Tom Wicker, and veteran Washington Post humor columnist Art Buchwald. Also startling is that the NSA was tasked with monitoring the overseas telephone calls and cable traffic of two prominent members of Congress, Senators Frank Church (D-Idaho) and Howard Baker (R-Tennessee). The NSA history, American Cryptology during the Cold War, is a multi-volume study that covers the intersection of secret communications intelligence with Cold War history. The National Security Archive filed the initial mandatory declassification review request for the histories in 2006. The next year, when the NSA denied significant information from the histories the Archive filed an appeal.

Since its establishment in 1952 as an independent agency under the Department of Defense (DoD), charged with providing signals intelligence (SIGINT) and information security for the U.S. government, NSA has operated essentially in silence. The wall of secrecy surrounding nearly all that the agency does has deterred most scholarly inquiry.

  • Intelligence Cooperation and the War on Terror
    Intelligence Cooperation and the War on Terror This book provides an in-depth analysis of UK–US intelligence cooperation in the post-9/11 world. Seeking to connect an analysis of intelligence liaison with the wider realm of Anglo-American Relations, the book draws on a wide range of interviews and consultations with key actors in both countries. The book is centred around two critical and empirical case studies, focusing on the interactions on the key issues of counterterrorism and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) counter-proliferation. These case studies provide substantive insights into a range of interactions such as 9/11, the 7/7 London bombings, the A.Q. Khan nuclear network, the prelude to the 2003 Iraq War, extraordinary renditions and Special Forces deployments. Drawing on over 60 interviews conducted in the United Kingdom and United States with prominent decision-makers and practitioners, these issues are exam- ined in the contemporary historical context, with the main focus being on the years 2000–5. This book will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies, foreign policy, security studies and International Relations in general. Adam D.M. Svendsen has a PhD in International History from the University of Warwick. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Peace and Security Studies, Georgetown University, and has contributed to the International Secur- ity Programme at Chatham House and to the work of IISS, London.
