Stephen Roy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'd love to see a new Forum here on Intelligence and Espionage. The JFK forum often touches on this, as do others. It would be a place to discuss controversial cases in intelligence history, new issues involving intelligence agencies, the balance between security and liberty, etc. What say ye?

Evan Burton Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I think it would be a good idea. I'll bring it to the attention of Andy and John for their consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Simkin Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The problem is that most members only look at certain sections of the forum. As a result, new sections receive very few visitors and debates rarely take place. That is why some members post non-JFK subjects in that section of the forum. Personally, I always access the forum via "Today's Active Topics". However, I appear to be in a minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it might start slow, but it holds the potential of eventually drawing many users. There is not now a good forum anywhere for such discussions. There is one called Final Phase, but it is heavily populated by former intelligence people and CI groupies. I'd love to have a place to debate the Golitsyn-Nosenko affair, the Yurchenko case or other interesting cases, and to get news on new happenings or good new books. Can I twist your arm a bit??

Why not start it in the "Political Conspiracies" section. That already has a wide readership. I will also be willing to debate the Golitsyn-Nosenko affair with you.

I take the position that Nosenko was more or less genuine, albeit with a bit of exaggeration of his importance, and that Golitsyn was fabricating to puff his own importance. What say you?
