http://NicholasAnderson.info Nicholas Anderson, Author of "NOC: British Secret Operations" interviewed by Joseph Dowdy. MI6 is a media name for secret intelligence service eq to c.i.a. came from military intelligence dept 6 sis was not disclosed as existing until they moved their hq nicholas joined in 1971. he belonged to requirements and production. "00" r officers and p officers. p = production or field operators. a lot has changed. r officers were grads from specific universities. p officers were selected from military. some go higher to noc level. they live in other countries and spy under an assumed name. uk had 12 noc's. us has over a hundred (back then). nicholas has concluded some interesting observations in the book. why is the mi6 less secretive? even more than the move of their hq? their policy will neither confirm nor deny anything. are there any things you see about movies and novels that you have high opinions about? anything realistic? well, there is one thing... everyone is an agent, but in the intel circles, an agent is outside. the insiders are officers. the media calls everyone an agent. could it be that any representative of the govt is an agent of an agency? the fbi does have agent or special agent status. the cia is intelligence officers. then there are no cia agents; only officers. the work out in the field requires anti-logic. things don't make sense at first but prove out different. first hand information and second hand info requires understanding in a different way. no answer is an answer... the book is fiction. regardless of true events the book is based upon. book is fiction. are there any movies or books that are accurate then? james bond film is comedy. bourne movies are quite good. this writing is like john la carre...he was also former mi6. he doesn't read or see much movies though. anything else? a lot of work involved human stupidity for mi6. what are most important human factors that you have learned in mi6? double-edged question. no answer... any observations? no. just read book. we want people to read book rather than give it away. any further tease? look at modern history. libya. syria. you cannot call it democracy when you put a gun to the head. to read the book or get more info, go to nicholasanderson.info website
