Oh yeah, here’s that spy-on-the-UN email<\/a>:<\/p>\n

To: [Recipients withheld]

\nSubject: Reflections of Iraq debate\/votes at UN – RT actions and potential for related contributions
\nImportance: High
\nTOP SECRET\/COMINT\/XL<\/p>\n

All,<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your help<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, the US claims it is not paying for votes<\/a>, but it is not denying<\/a> the bugging claims (as a matter of “policy”<\/a>) while most UN diplomats pretty much accept US spying as business as usual<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
