Talk:Reginald Hall

Stuff to be added

Hall also practically invented "Dirty Tricks," engaged in bribery and blackmail (of the British and their allies as well as the enemy), manipulated the British & American media to his own ends, concocted & spread false reports of German atrocities in Belgium, and arranged the retaliatory German bombing of the home of a judge whom he personally considered too lenient on captured spies. Among many other questionable practices. Many of the files concerning his activities are still sealed as a "security risk" (or perhaps an embarrassment) to Britain. However successful he might have been, Hall was also vicious, predatory, egotistical, and decidedly sinister. --Michael K. Smith 17:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

And what evidence of this do you have? Paul B 18:43, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

It's actually all detailed in Christopher Andrew (1986). Her Majesty's Secret Service: The Making of the British Intelligence Community. New York: Viking. ISBN 0-670-80941-1. When I have the time I will insert it all. This article is utterly unsourced and referenced anyway, and Beesly has long since been outdated. There are two biographies of Hall and none are even mentioned. --Harlsbottom (talk | library | book reviews) 13:37, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
