	Defector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A defector is a person who gives up allegiance to one country in exchange for allegiance to another.
		This act is usually in a manner which violates the laws of the nation from which the person is seeking to depart (as opposed to changing citizenship).
		In some cases, defectors remain in the country they are against, as an agent, or in many cases, a double agent.

	My Way - News
		BERLIN (Reuters) - An Iranian defector, preparing to testify in Germany's second major Sept. 11 trial, said on Tuesday that a son of Osama bin Laden had personally told Iranian leaders of the planned attacks on U.S. cities in 2001.
		Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi rejected the accusation, saying the defector was not credible and had invented his story.
		The defector, who goes by the cover name Hamid Reza Zakeri, told Reuters in a telephone interview that al Qaeda had forewarned Tehran of the attacks because it wanted Iran's help in sheltering its leaders afterwards.

	My defector paper
		A defector loses faith in the cause he is fighting for and therefore chooses to offer his services to the opposing side to further their cause or prevent his former allies from achieving their plans.
		A defector's primary impetus, therefore, is his desire to pursue a better cause rather than to inflict any damage to his former allies.
		This view was reiterated by Claire Benedikt during an interchange in which she stated,"...A defector is simply running away from one country and aligning with another...A traitor is actively working against his country" (30 Jan. 96).

	Third Chinese defector in Australia-lawyer - Boston.com - Asia - News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A third Chinese official has defected to Australia and has already been granted asylum, his lawyer said on Thursday, as a diplomat and a man claiming to be a former state security officer appealed to be allowed to stay.
		The lawyer spoke on Australia's ABC television just hours after a senior cabinet minister had said the diplomat defector, a Sydney-based consul who says he fears for his family's safety if he is forced back to China, was in no danger of being sent home.
		The second defector, Hao Fengjun, told ABC television earlier this week that he had worked as a state security officer for the 610 agency at its branch in Tianjin, northern China.

	Skepticism About Defector's Weapons Allegations Ignored (washingtonpost.com) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The defector, who was initially debriefed by the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) in 2000, was described in early U.S. intelligence reports as a project engineer involved in designing and helping construct biological facilities in Iraq.
		At that morning meeting, the defector was "having a terrible hangover," which raised questions about his reliability, according to the Senate report, which detailed deep flaws and exaggerations in the CIA's prewar intelligence reporting on Iraq.
		U.S. intelligence officials finally interviewed the defector in recent months and "are continuing to question his reliability, although he has been convincing that he did have access to different levels" of Iraq's biological weapons program, a senior administration official said yesterday.

	Defector Dilemma Upsetting Korean Diplomacy - by Ahn Mi-Young
		Topping Seoul's fears are that a defector exodus will spark a chaotic Albanian-style collapse of North Korea, bringing hungry refugees southward by the millions.
		"The massive arrival of Northern defectors is generally expected to compound a peaceful resolution to the nuclear standoff between Pyongyang and Washington which has kept the Korean peninsula under the grip of tension since October 2002," said a July 31 editorial in the Korea Times daily.
		It is yet to be seen whether Pyongyang will use the issue of defectors to skip this week's six-party security dialogue on the Korean peninsula – involving the two Koreas, the United States, China, Japan and Russia.

	Defector is a man on the run, Chinese say - National - smh.com.au
		The Chinese defector Hao Fengjun has been brandishing a fake identity card and is a low level policeman running from bribery allegations and his wife and child, the Chinese embassy said yesterday.
		A spokeswoman for the Chinese embassy in Canberra, Ou Boqian, said that authorities in Mr Hao's home city of Tianjin had found the identity card Mr Hao held up to the Australian media, to prove his bona fides, was fraudulent.
		China has said the claims about espionage are fabrications to bolster the defectors' applications for asylum.

	Iran Denies Links With Defector
		TEHRAN, Iran –– An Iranian defector fabricated claims that Iran was involved in two deadly anti-American terrorist attacks in order to gain asylum in the West, Iran's intelligence minister was reported as saying Tuesday.
		The defector, who identified himself as Ahmad Behbahani, told the CBS News program "60 Minutes" that he was an intelligence official involved in Iranian terrorism operations for more than a decade before his defection to Turkey.
		But Behbahani, who did not appear on camera in the television interview, looked older in a published photo seen later, and CBS told The Associated Press the defector had said he was born in 1962.

	Amazon.co.uk: Defector: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I discovered Steve Hackett via the single "Clocks" and as I was just 19 at the time, I rushed out and bought all his first 3 albums (Voyage of the Acolyte, Please don't touch and Spectral Mornings) in late 1979.
		The overall theme (a Russian defector in the 80s Cold War) lends itself very well to some beautiful musical ideas from Steve & co and I would thoroughly recommend it to any fan of Steve Hackett's solo work, or even to the most diehard Genesis fan.
		"Defector" however, seemed to be a justified name for the 4th album.

		A Defence HUMINT (human intelligence) Service officer who was responsible for collecting and reporting information from the Germans on the defector's statements, "did not recall" a separate evaluation by DIA analysts that said Curve Ball's reports suffered from inconsistencies, the Senate report said.
		US intelligence officials finally interviewed the defector in recent months and "are continuing to question his reliability, although he has been convincing that he did have access to different levels" of Iraq's biological weapons programme, a senior administration official.

	Former CIA Director Used Pentagon Ties to Introduce Iraqi Defector
		R. James Woolsey's role as a go-between was detailed in a classified Defense Department report chronicling how the defector's assertion came to be included in the Bush administration's case for war even after the defector was determined to be a fabricator.
		He stressed that the INC made no claims about the defectors' veracity and it was up to U.S. officials to decide whether to use their information.
		The Senate Intelligence Committee assessed the Harith case and found that intelligence analysts thought his claim was crucial in appearing to corroborate allegations by another defector, code-named Curve Ball, the main source of claims that Iraq had developed mobile biological-weapons facilities to deceive U.N. weapons inspectors.

	The New Yorker: Fact
		The advantages and disadvantages of relying on defectors has been a perennial source of dispute within the American intelligence community—as Shulsky himself noted in a 1991 textbook on intelligence that he co-authored.
		Another defector, who was identified only as a retired lieutenant general in the Iraqi intelligence service, said that in 2000 he witnessed Arab students being given lessons in hijacking on a Boeing 707 parked at an Iraqi training camp near the town of Salman Pak, south of Baghdad.
		In a detailed account, the London Times described how the defector had trained with Al Qaeda terrorists in the late nineteen-nineties at secret camps in Iraq, how the Iraqis received instructions in the use of chemical and biological weapons, and how the defector was given a new identity and relocated.

	DEBKAfile - Senior Iraq Defector May Not Have Made It - II
		Further discoveries by our intelligence sources of the defector’s secret duties would further enhance his value for Washington and make Saddam more anxious to keep him and the secrets in his head out of his enemies’ hands.
		In Jeddah, the Saudis may have decided that this potato was too hot for them to hold and hustled him aboard the first flight out, which was bound for Damascus.
		Alternatively, the defector may have flown directly to Damascus – a kosher destination given his job as go-between – intending to continue from there in secret to Jeddah to knock at the door of a US consulate or make his way to the West under his own steam.

	Star Witness on Iraq Said Weapons Were Destroyed
		Kamel's defection has been cited repeatedly by George W. Bush and leading administration officials as evidence that 1) Iraq has not disarmed; 2) inspections cannot disarm it; and 3) defectors such as Kamel are the most reliable source of information on Iraq's weapons.
		The defector has been cited four times on the New York Times op-ed page in the last four months in support of claims about Iraq's weapons programs-- never noting his assertions about the elimination of these weapons.
		The Kamel story is a bombshell that necessitates a thorough reevaluation of U.S. media reporting on Iraq, much of which has taken for granted that the nation retains supplies of prohibited weapons.

		The defector claimed to have masterminded the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, and the 1996 attack against a U.S. military installation in Saudi Arabia.
		Iran vehemently denied the defector's claims, saying they had no record of him and that his own statements were contradictory.
		If verified, the defector's claims could damage the case against the Libyans accused in the Pan Am bombing as well as State Department efforts to warm relations with Iran.

		This might suggest that the tragedy of the commons is less tragic than the PD, but in real life situations, it would seem unlikely that the participants would know when they are at the equilibrium point of minimally effective cooperation.
		It is overturned by invasions of unconditional defectors exceeding 10% of the population.

		Kanatjan Alibekov, alias "Ken Alibek," the President of Hadron Advanced Biosystems, should be re-interrogated by the FBI, according to three researchers who arrived at this conclusion independently.
		More suspicious ties to the Russian defector and Hadron Advanced Biosystems were realized when investigators learned of the second leading BMI and CIA anthrax contractor, and close personal friend of Dr. Alibekov, Dr. William C. Patrick, III.
		Suspiciously, Dr. Alibekov and BMI had contracted with this anthrax ace in the Spring of 1998 to predict the dispersal and damage capability of mailing such a hyper-weaponized germ much like the one sent to select members of the media and legislators on Capitol Hill.
