# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Challenges Predicted in Turkish-US Ties After US Backs Cyprus Gas Drilling
Column by Ilhan Tanir: US backs up Greek Cyprus in gas-drilling row -
Hurriyet Daily News Online
Saturday August 13, 2011 09:17:18 GMT
Already convoluted reunification talks on the island now find another
layer of sharply differing views over the planned hydrocarbon drilling
project. Until now, both the Turkish and Greek sides made clear their
respective opposing arguments over the issue. The foreign minister of
Turkish Cyprus, Huseyin Ozgurgun, in a statement released this week called
the oil and gas plans "unilateral activities" of the Greek Cypriot
administration "that are against international laws and will inevitably
have a negative impact on the ongoing negotiation process by escalating
tension. The so-called Cyprus Republic doesn't have a right to represent
and decide for the Cypriot Turks and the island's sea privileges by
itself," he said.
Greece's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Grigoris Delavekouras, on the
other hand criticized the Turkish stance in a statement provided by the
Greek Embassy. The Greek side believes the government of Greek Cyprus is
the only legal representative of the state and is exercising its sovereign
rights and responsibilities within international and maritime law. Greek
Cyprus' foreign minister, Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis, is getting ready to
initiate an international campaign about Turkish warnings to the European
Union and international organizations, as the Cyprus Mail reported.
The U.S. choice not to take a clear stance in the drilling row, despite
its deep involvement in the Cyprus reunification talks and the Texas-based
Nobel Energy, which holds 100 percent of the unexplored Block 12, an
economic zone southeast of the island, puts Americans in the middle of the
in tense spat.
The Turkish officials, as reported in the Hurriyet Daily News last week,
were said to have conveyed their concerns both to U.S. officials and the
energy company about the project, although when contacted neither Nobel's
spokesperson nor State Department officials who have knowledge of the
issue wanted to comment about what kind of messages or warnings they had
received from Turkish officials. Instead, a State Department official who
is involved with Turkey-related matters referred to Assistant Secretary
Philip Gordon's press round-table in Cyprus at the beginning of the year.
In that, Gordon said the U.S. administration doesn't see any link between
the reunification talks and the exploration plans. On the contrary, Gordon
views the U.S. firm's involvement as "a very positive thing... on the
Cyprus issue we know what the significant issues and chapters are, and I
don't think that changes that in a significant way."
In a three-point statemen t I received from the State Department on
Wednesday, the U.S. administration states that it is aware of Turkey's
position on the issue, and reiterated its commitment "to support strongly
the efforts of both Cypriot parties to reunify the island into a bi-zonal,
bi-communal federation." However, as a final point, the U.S.
administration underscored that it views the plans in terms of "securing
energy supplies through better energy diversity" and that "is something
that the United States strongly supports for all countries."
Following the harsh statements coming from the Turkish administration, and
at a time when the region's landscape is rapidly changing and Ankara is
growing increasingly confident in asserting its own foreign policy terms,
one that appears to be closely aligned with Washington in many instances
including in Syria, the gas-drilling project appears to have potential to
pose some challenge in the relations between Ankara and Washington, in
addition to its already jittery relations with Nicosia.
The U.S. perceives the Greek Cypriot drilling plans, which could
reportedly "sustain the energy need in Europe for the next 100 years," in
terms of an alternative energy source for its European allies to help
gaining energy independence, despite fierce Turkish objections.
