As for the second proposition, what utterly implausible bollocks.One of my questions to the authors went "''' German Democratic Republic; Global Depositary Receipt; Global De-activation of Radiation; Global Design Resources; or something else?" - though I think the answer is obvious.
Interestingly, only one mention of Afghanistan in the Clark-Levy piece, and that confined to contacts, not visits. Here, I still suspect, lies the key.
My regards to Sabremesh.

Pace Trowbridge Ford, I'm intrigued by a possible Gudrun Loftus - Angela Merkel link - both ex GDR residents
OTOH, among all the stuff that is mentioned, the omission of Afghanistan arguably does invite focus.
I also agree with David. The indiscretions of mid-ranking, frustrated policemen are always a worry for the SIS's and should be pondered.
