Everybody spies. It's uh…(laughs). And, and our Western values, you “know it's uh … everybody spies and we spy on our friends and they spy on us and we hold hands smile and it's … it's hypocritical.„ – Jeffery Paul Delisle quoted during his police interrogation.

  • The Terrorist Sleeper Threat in an Age of Anxiety About the Author
    DSFG/WIIS-C Working Paper April 2021 Author Dr. Shannon Nash The Terrorist Sleeper Threat in an Age of Anxiety About the Author Dr. Shannon Nash is the Postdoctoral Network Manager of the North American and Arctic Defence and Security Network (NAADSN). She coordinates NAADSN events, re- search projects and outputs, multimedia presence, website, and reports. She promotes relationships between the network and collaborators and manages NAADSN’s student and graduate research fellows. As part of her work with NAADSN, Dr. Nash is a post-doctoral r esearch fellow at Trent University studying past and present terrorist threats and attacks as well as Canadian, American, and international defence, security and counterterrorism policies. Her current research examines the fluidity of the “terrorism” label and how the label is informed and applied to a violent attack in Canada. This research looks at how racism, Islamophobia and white supremacy, and how and who we frame as “other”, or “terrorist”, are all profoundly connected. Dr. Nash is also working on a project at the University of Water- loo that looks at education and training in national security and counterterrorism in Cana- da. She has recently completed a review of important studies and practical efforts to anticipate and reduce risk factors contributing to lasting traumatization of terrorist victims for a chapter in the forthcoming Handbook of Terrorism Prevention and Preparedness (Ed. Alex P. Schmid). Dr. Nash received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Toronto with a focus on 20th Cen- tury American History, Terrorism, and International Relations. Her doctoral thesis looks at the reality of al Qaeda espionage methodology and how the idea of a sleeper agent was per- ceived and adapted to fit the terrorist threat posed by al Qaeda from the 1990s onwards.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT Many BU alumni have made and continue to make important contributions to the US Intelligence Com- munity. Their dedicated efforts and unique achieve- ments seldom receive public recognition because of the highly classified nature of their work. Since begin- ning my teaching at BU, I have been heartened to see several of my BU students, who will remain nameless, embark on intelligence-related careers. Several BU Terriers’ good names, honorable ser- vice, and brave deeds have been made public. These alumni deserve to have their stories told.

  • Disguise for Cover
    DISGUISE FOR COVER Sometimes intelligence officers and their agents need to operate in public places without being recognized. In disguise, they can move freely. Especially when engaged in countersurveillance (making sure no one is watching/following you) intelligence officers and agents need to use a disguise to hide, or in some cases, bring attention to themselves. Disguise is not only for changes in your appearance, a master of disguise will change their mannerisms, behaviors, walking style, posture, and ways of thinking. If you have fully mastered your cover story, you’ve achieved the most difficult (the internal) part of concealing your true identity. Often, it is the subtle changes that make the most difference.
