Re: Mr Steve Fulton's "Newsflash!" on NSA bugging the Security Council, I
would like to submit the following cut from a report by Intel Research, 3
March.



To: [Recipients withheld]

Subject: Reflections of Iraq debate/votes at UN - RT actions and potential
for related contributions
Importance: High
TOP SECRET/COMINT/XL
All,
As you've likely heard by now, the Agency is mounting a surge particularly
directed at the UN Security Council (UNSC) members (minus US and GBR of
course) for insights as to how to membership is reacting to the on-going
debate RE: Iraq, plans to vote on any related resolutions, what related
policies/
negotiating positions they may be considering, alliances/ dependencies, etc
- the whole gamut of information that could give US policymakers an edge in
obtaining results favourable to US goals or to head off surprises. In RT,
that means a QRC surge effort to revive/ create efforts against UNSC members
Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Bulgaria and Guinea, as well as extra focus on
Pakistan UN matters.
We've also asked ALL RT topi's to emphasise and make sure they pay attention
to existing non-UNSC member UN-related and domestic comms for
anything useful related to the UNSC deliberations/ debates/ votes. We have a
lot of special UN-related diplomatic coverage (various UN delegations) from
countries not sitting on the UNSC right now that could contribute related
perspectives/ insights/ whatever. We recognise that we can't afford to
ignore this
possible source.
We'd appreciate your support in getting the word to your analysts who might
have similar, more in-direct access to valuable information from accesses in
your product lines. I suspect that you'll be hearing more along these lines
in formal channels - especially as this effort will probably peak (at least
for this
specific focus) in the middle of next week, following the SecState's
presentation to the UNSC.
Thanks for your help
