  Judge Business School: News & Events - In the Spotlight - Sir Richard Dearlove
On the 24th of January 2005, the MBA class was delighted to welcome Sir Richard Dearlove to present the inaugural Cambridge Leadership Seminar.
Sir Richard's appointment was widely seen as a reflection of post-Cold War priorities of the SIS - which were as much about counter-terrorism, counter-proliferation, and contributing to the fight against crime as spying on foreign powers.
During the session Sir Richard answered many questions from students on a wide range of subjects, including how spies are recruited, managing the culture of MI6, and the changes intelligence organisations have had to make over the past 20 years.

Dearlove argued that while the U.S. claims to be dealing strategically with the problem of terrorism, it may not be actually gaining and has, in fact, “gone back in time” in terms of strategy.
Dearlove argued that it is better to have the public debate over how to fight fundamentalism in open democratic societies rather than give the appearance of skirting those laws for the greater good.
Dearlove also emphasized the importance of morality in fighting terrorism, arguing that when a state assumes a high moral ground, it is easier to recruit human intelligence sources.

Described as an intelligence "all rounder", his appointment was seen as a reflection of the agency's new post-Cold War priorities - fighting organised crime rather than spying on the Soviets.
In 1999 Sir Richard was appointed chief and, like all his predecessors since the agency's founder Captain Sir Mansfield Cumming, became known in Whitehall simply as "C".
A year later he had to endure the indignity of a terrorist rocket attack - blamed on dissident Irish republicans - on MI6's headquarters on the south bank of the River Thames, although the damage was slight.

 Richard Billing Dearlove - MI6/SIS's Director/'C'
Although Mr Dearlove's appointment was announced, the much-vaunted spirit of greater openness and accountability of the security services did not extend to releasing a photograph of the new chief.
So 'Mr Dearlove' had a classical English education, lives in Acacia Avenue, has an adoring mother and three fine children, and is thought by colleagues to be 'very successful and hard-nosed'.
The giveaway is that the character of 'Dearlove' draws so heavily on the patient, anonymous figure of George Smiley, John Le Carre's enigmatic spymaster, who was himself based in part on Le Carre's old tutor at Lincoln College, Oxford, the Rev Vivian Green.

Dearlove had been invited to Washington to participate in high-level planning sessions in the wake of 9/11.
Dearlove wrote further that there was no evidence either of weapons of mass destruction at Saddam Hussein's disposal or of any prior complicity between Saddam, a secular despot, and the jihadists of al-Qaeda, his natural enemies.
