Condor,

Kings of War appears to be sleeping currently, I shall ask what has happened with a friend @ Kings.

Defence in Depth appears to be the work of those from Kings based at the Defence Academy, which has always had a distinc identity.

Standby.

Thank you David. Haven't been on much the past two months due to commitments. Was surprised when I couldn't get on there the other day.

From an email to subscribers:

No, we didn’t fall victim to North Korean hackers, but we’re not quite sure what happened, either. Normal service will resume shortly. For the moment, we’re reading through the results of the latest round of academic league-tabling, and listening to Putin avoid talking about the collapse of the Russian currency.

A newly discovered blog by David Wells, who explains what it is about:

I’ve spent the best part of the last ten years working for intelligence agencies in the UK and Australia, specialising in counter-terrorism. My Top Secret clearances allowed me to witness the modus operandi of numerous terrorist groups and networks at first hand. I’ve seen how different international intelligence agencies work, and what happens when they don’t. I’m no Edward Snowden. I won’t be revealing classified material or methodology, or comment on the veracity of any of his leaked material.
My blog will however be informed by my personal experience of the strategies employed by intelligence agencies, and how they interact with central government policy. I will not always agree with their approach (and have not in the past), but I understand how they have got there and why.
My aim, wherever possible, will be to use the analytical skills developed during my intelligence career to provide a balanced, apolitical and nuanced view on the War on Terror.
