The pictures were published last week on the orders of Eliza Manningham-Buller, the current director-general, as part of her drive towards greater openness.

In the intelligence communities, I have never know that "openness" was a virtue.

I think that you are looking at a country (UK) that is destructing itself from the inside. Scary part is, we'd be fools to think that we have another 229 years to do the same.

With the leaky seive (sp?) that the CIA seems to be and that it seems jam-packed with leftist America haters with a penchant for being traitors, we probably have just as much (if not more) to be worried about.

True.  Our dear British Friends deserve better.  Unlike so many other peoples, they have shown such courage, forbearance, honor and gutsiness in times of battle or strife that it sickens me that such gains are in danger of being intentionally thrown away.

All too true, unfortunately.  may God help us all....our 'leaders' quite often will not.  If we are so unlucky as to get another Clinton-like treasonous pig in a White House of the future, we could be subjected to a near complete dismantling of what we have left of our intelligence infrastructure.

Also, any damages done to Great Britain's services directly affect us as well, because I'm sure that there are numerous interlinking relationships.

My great hope is that these are all fake names and this 'openness' initiative is all a cunning plan to send the Syrians and Iranians scurrying off into dead ends.
