Subject: Interview Request (WORLD INTELLIGENCE, JAPAN)

Dear Mr. Young,

WORLD INTELLIGENCE is the only magazine in Japan covering intelligence
topics. Our circulation is around 20,000 copies, and readers are mostly from
Japanese establishment.

Until now, we have published interviews with, or articles written by:
FUMIO KYUMA, former Defense Minister;
HIRONARI NODA, former agent of Public Security Intelligence Agency;
SHIGERU ISHIBA, former Director General of the Defense Agency;
SEIJI MAEHARA, former Representative of Democratic Party;
YOSHIO OMORI, former Chief of the Cabinet Intelligence&Research Office;
UKERU MAGOSAKI, former Director  of the International Intelligence  Bureau
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
MITSUHIRO SUGANUMA, former Director of International(2nd) Research
Department of the Public Security Intelligence Agency;
SHIGERU SUGITA,  former Director  of the International Intelligence Bureau
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
FUMIO OTA, former Director  of the Defense Intelligence Headquarter of the
Defense Agency;
TAKUJI ICHIKAWA, Commander of the Military Intelligence Command of the
Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force.

We would like to have an interview with you via e-mail, and publish it in
our magazine, if that's OK with you.

Here are the questions:

1. What was the main reason to start your web-page?
2. Do you know how many hits on average, your web page gets daily?
3. What was the topic that attracted highest number of viewers?
4. Did you have any request from government officials not to publish certain
   information, and if yes, how many times?
5. What was you biggest, exclusive story in general, whether be it a rumor,
   or the truth?
6. What was you biggest exclusive and true story about intelligence?
7. Can you explain your way of judging whether the news is a true one, or
   just a rumor, or maybe a hoax?
8. Can you share with our readers from what kind of backgrounds your
   informants are coming?

We would like to use your photo to accompany the interview. It could be
even a picture of your back, if you don't like your face to be visible.
Could you send one, please?

We can offer you a fee of USA$ 100.-, which we would like to pay with
PAYPAL.
Is it possible to do that via  PAYPAL DONATE button from your web page? If
it is, that would be the fastest and cheapest way for us.

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely,

Kuroi Buntaro, Editor in Chief

Dear Kuroi Buntaro,

It's a pleasure answer your questions.

>1. What was the main reason to start your web-page?

To publish information on communications security and the technology
and practices of spying.

>2. Do you know how many hits on average, your web page gets daily?

About 100,000.

>3. What was the topic that attracted highest number of viewers?

Secret documents about spying by governments.

>4. Did you have any request from government officials not to publish certain
>   information, and if yes, how many times?

US Federal Bureau of Investigation, 4 times.

British intelligence 3 times.

Japanese Ministry of Justice, once.

US Department of Homeland Security, once.

Requests were published on Cryptome. No requests were obeyed.

>5. What was you biggest, exclusive story in general, whether be it a rumor,
>   or the truth?

Publication of information about TEMPEST, the emanation of unintentional
signals from electronic devices.

>6. What was you biggest exclusive and true story about intelligence?

See No. 5.

>7. Can you explain your way of judging whether the news is a true one, or
>   just a rumor, or maybe a hoax?

No judgments, Cryptome lets readers decide. Repeated announcements that 
Cryptome is not authoritative and should not be trusted. Nor should anything 
be trusted on the Internet or coming from authoritative sources, in particular
governments, and most importantly sources which believe in secrecy about
their activities.

>8. Can you share with our readers from what kind of backgrounds your
>   informants are coming?

Don't know.

>We would like to use your photo to accompany the interview. It could be
>even a picture of your back, if you don't like your face to be visible.
>Could you send one, please?

Photos attached (2004).

>We can offer you a fee of USA$ 100.-, which we would like to pay with
>PAYPAL.

No payment required.

Thanks for your request.

Best regards,

John
