\r\n

\r\nAll,

\r\n\r\nAs 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.\r\n

\r\nWe'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.\r\n

\r\nWe'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.\r\n

\r\nThanks for your help\r\n<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.observer.co.uk\/international\/story\/0,6903,905899,00.html","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"a document, leaked to the observer, proves that the US is conducting surveilance against all UN security council members except for GBR. ed. note: wasn't this what got Nixion out of office?","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2003\/03\/32469.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
