Abstract

The May 2002 tranche of British Security Service files released to the Public Record Office included hitherto classified policy files containing documents on Secret Service Committee meetings held from 1919 to 1923. This body wrote an important yet relatively obscure chapter in British intelligence history: the post-First World War reorganization and retasking of British secret service machinery, the focus now being Soviet Russia. However, by encouraging the deliberate overstatement of the Bolshevik 'subversive' threat and then backing excessive measures to counter it, some British officials may have sown the seeds of government's later inability to detect a much graver peril to national security, that of Soviet espionage.

Abstract

This article focuses on the failure of the U.S. government to safeguard the information about its nuclear project at the Los Alamo National Laboratory in 2000. Reports from inside the Department of Energy (DOE) indicate that management has interfered in security self-assessments at the agency's facilities and has permitted sales of computer systems that contain classified information to China. The first indications that the Chinese had penetrated into DOE nuclear-weapons laboratories came in 1995. The U.S. administration's response to the success of Chinese infiltration was to undermine the credibility of the counterintelligence warnings of Chinese espionage.
