# 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.

according to one of my sources, the syrians also gave them the middle
finger and said they dont have to cooperate when the US is committing
human rights violations through its occupation in iraq, etc. at the same
time, there has been some 'low-level intel cooperation' (which jibes with
the insight ive been getting through a source in syria and what we wrote
about).
now with bashar going to saudi we could see things move quicker

Syria envoy to meet U.S. diplomat in sign of thaw in ties
By Reuters

Signaling a possible thaw in relations, Syria's ambassador to
Washington will meet a senior U.S. diplomat on Thursday, the
highest-level contact between the two nations since the Obama
administration took office.
A State Department official said on Tuesday Syrian ambassador Imad
Mustafa accepted a rare invitation to come to the department to meet
acting head of the Near Eastern Affairs bureau, Jeffrey Feltman, who
was U.S. ambassador to Lebanon.
"We see this as an opportunity to explore those areas where we have
potential for progress," the official told Reuters of the meeting.
State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid said last Friday the United
States also wanted to discuss Damascus' support for "terrorist
groups" and its pursuit of nuclear and nonconventional weaponry.
UN inspectors said last week that graphite and more uranium traces
were found in samples taken from a Syrian site that Washington says
was an almost built graphite nuclear reactor destroyed by Israel in
November 2007, and this is expected to be raised by Feltman.
But the meeting also offers a chance to find ways to improve
relations as the Obama administration reviews U.S. policy towards
Syria, including whether to return an ambassador to Damascus.
The U.S. ambassador was pulled out of Syria after the 2005
assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri.
Syria, which is on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism,
denies any involvement in Hariri's murder but Washington pointed
fingers at Damascus and relations have been particularly sour since
then.
Syrian embassy spokesman Ahmed Salkini said no reasons were given by
the State Department for the meeting but Syria hoped for an end to
the "dictation" policies of the past administration of President
George W. Bush.
"We hope we will see new policies, a new approach and a new vision
over what we had over the past eight years," said Salkini of a
possible thaw in ties between the two nations.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told a British newspaper last week
he hoped for better relations and that Obama would send an ambassador
to Syria soon.
"Not having an ambassador means a void in influence," said Salkini.
The Bush administration began last year making overtures towards
Syria and was reassessing its isolation policy, which included a raft
of sanctions against Damascus.
But the White House ultimately decided against a full thaw in ties
and left any dramatic shift up to the next president.
Last week, the Democratic chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, Senator John Kerry, said on a visit to Damascus
that there was a chance to change relations with Washington.
But he made clear that Washington wanted Syria to stop providing
support to Hamas militants in the Palestinian territories and to the
Hezbollah guerrilla group in Lebanon
