No offence was taken at all Ed. My preference is to cite facts and sources, but so much of my material is now inaccessible - since I packed it up and stored it when I retired - that I have to rely on memory (which ain't as sharp as it once was).
I should know the journalists name by heart because later he became the editor of an intelligence publication and literally pleaded with me to give him a story I was working on with another US editor --- and eventually I did give it to him. He took the story to a senior contact of his in the Agency to corroborate and never spoke to me again. Not, I might add, because the story didn't stack up, but because it did. That's, in fact, what happened to the first editor too. He never spoke to me again. From several times a day over a period of 4/5 months to zero, zilch, nada.
I got so mad I published the whole damn things for free on the internet. That was seven months work, the labour costs and the associated research/travel costs, down the toilet. I suspect the main mistake I made (amongst several no doubt) was that I had the International Committee of the Red Cross in Lausanne, ready to go into action because International law had been broken and the ICCR was the entity charged with ensuring that law was honoured.
What a silly boy I was.
Anyway, for those who have a mind, it can be read in full HERE.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
