Edition #125, January 2008

Welcome to the first N&O in 2008 which includes, besides the usual news and logs a long Russian Intelligence message and my attempt to cover the Dutch Secret Services in this month's Intelligence Profile.

Russian journalist Andrei Soldatov sent me a note that he has now an English version online in which he attempts to analyse what has happened to the Russian secret services in the past 7-8 years. The article is on the Agentura website http://www.agentura.ru/english/dosie/mutation/

Andrei also sent a link to a website that publishes a translation of Agentura's analysis of FSB activities in 2007. Much appreciated, Andrei.
