I wonder how intelligently stringent the background checks are on people offered jobs in ‘Intelligence’ in Germany.
Is there a question Talbot - or are you just looking for observations and opinions?

/// Is there a question Talbot - or are you just looking for observations and opinions? ///

Since there is no sign of a question mark, it would seem obvious to most that Talbot is seeking observations and opinions, not unusual on AB.
AOG - that may well be the case - but I am sure you won't mind if I wait for Talbot to respond - since my question was directed to him as the originator, and his is the response I am seeking.
well as a comment - whilst Andie waits for an answer that May Never Come -
we could rehearse the shameful episode of the Cambridge 5
[ anthony blunt and all that stuff ]

bright cambridge lads thinking stalinism was a better go than parliamentary democracy. O dear god ....

or the IRA who inilftrated the Met
the secret police car number plates were 'unlisted' and all the spies had to do was remember the numbers of those car comign back as unlisted ( hence no key strokes and no audit trail)
It went to the house of Lords on whether looking at a screen could be a terrorist act [ or did they have to do something else like note it down]

or indeed ELi Cohen

who said he was one of them - but wasnt - he was one of the other ....

any sign of an answer andie ?


If anyone can give me a ref ( case no) on that I would be grateful
Pieter Pedante - no not yet.

Clearly I was looking for opinions ...Only an idiot or someone being deliberately antagonistic would think otherwise.

Personally I think it is a disturbing finding that a German intelligence officer employed to gather evidence is actually giving out information to the enemy.
And possibly plotting an attack ... I can't help but wonder how deep the infiltration goes.

Pity you don't take your own words in mind, when you yourself choose to answer on other ABers behalf, as you most frequently do.
As the opening post implies, the necessary recruitment and background checks maybe need to be redoubled to minimise the chances of this happening.

You could never 100% eradicate the chances of it occurring but recruitment and monitoring need to be robust.
Talbot - //Clearly I was looking for opinions ...Only an idiot or someone being deliberately antagonistic would think otherwise. //

I asked a simple question - a simple answer would have sufficed, it was not 'clear' otherwise I would not have asked, but having extracted your point from your odious unpleasantness, we can all now move on.

As do you, as do we all. That's how debate works, I think you know that.

5 replies and nothing as yet on the subject in the OP
Maybe nobody cares?
Oh, you mean five posts from me personally? Well, now that I know you are looking for opinions or comments - I haven't especially thought about it.

/// we can all now move on. ///

Please speak for yourself, everyone except you apparently have "moved on".
Question Author
Antagonistic it is then andy.
AOG - We, or if you prefer I, can move on - but not very far!

No-one apart from me (moving on as I am? can muster the energy to actually comment on the OP.

/// Well, now that I know you are looking for opinions or comments ///

Look out for the ? sign, it saves a great deal of confusion.
Talbot - //Antagonistic it is then andy. //

Given the tone of your response, I think most would agree that the antagonism is coming from your direction.

However, unwilling as I am to assist you in derailing and possibly losing your own thread - uninteresting as it appears to be - I am withdrawing from this exchange with you.
AOG - //Look out for the ? sign, it saves a great deal of confusion. //

I did - but if you check the OP, you'll see there isn't one, hence my question, and the tirade that followed.
