# 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.

Assad in talks with US delegation on boosting ties
Second US congressional delegation visits Syria in less than month amid
signs of improving relations.
*DAMASCUS - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad discussed ways of boosting
ties with the United States during a meeting with visiting US
Congressmen on Wednesday, the state-run SANA news agency said.
The talks with the delegation led by Senator Benjamin Cardin "focused on
ties between Syria and the United States and the importance of
developing them through a serious and positive dialogue based on mutual
respect," it said.
The US senators also underscored the "importance of pursuing the
dialogue" between the two nations, whose relations soured under former
US president George W. Bush.
"The discussions also focused on developments in the region and what
could be done to bolster efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East, in
addition to fighting terrorism," SANA said.
It quoted Assad as saying that "achieving peace is the key to achieving
stability in the region."
The Damascus talks came as a British newspaper quoted Assad as welcoming
US President Barack Obama's moves towards dialogue and said he would
like to see full diplomatic ties resumed.
"We have the impression that this administration will be different and
we have seen the signals. But we have to wait for the reality and the
results," Assad told the Guardian newspaper.
The Cardin-led delegation is the second congressional team to visit
Syria in less than a month and John Kerry, foreign relations committee
chairman, is expected to make the country one of his stops on a current
Middle East tour.
Assad described the visits as "important" and a "good gesture," but said
he hoped Washington would send an ambassador to cement these ties.
The United States pulled it ambassador from Syria after the February
2005 assassination in Beirut of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq
Hariri in a car bomb attack blamed on Syria. Damascus has denied any
involvement.
Syria's relations with the United States struggled under the
administration of former president George W. Bush amid accusations that
Damascus was turning a blind eye to the arming and funding of insurgents
in neighbouring Iraq.
The Bush administration also accused Damascus of supporting resistance
groups, like Lebanon's Hezbollah and the democratically elected
Palestinian Hamas movement.
Assad returned to the international fold in July with a visit to Paris,
and since then, relations with the international community have thawed,
most notably with the United States since Obama's inauguration in January.*
