- There really isn't anything in "Spycatcher" that wasn't
- fed to Chapman Pincher for his books "Their Trade is Treachery"
- and "Too Secret too Long". Read those two and you'll have
- everything except Peter Wrights name and his complaints about
- his pension. There was a posting on soc.culture.british a
- couple of days ago saying that the ban had been lifted. In that
- case, I would guess the government hasn't told anybody.
