An odd aspect of the Stakeknife revelation is that the prime candidate for outing Stakeknife, an undercover agent pseudonymed "Kevin Fulton," has had his true name on Cryptome for several months on court claims made against HMG for compensation for years of undercover spying and the death of his stillborn daughter allegedly caused by a security raid: http://cryptome.org/fru-claimant.htm "Kevin Fulton" is known to a number of British and Irish reporters but none have published his true name, although the Scottish Sunday Herald reported on Fulton's court claims without reporting the true name of the claimant. A British court banned publication of one of the claims which name British intelligence officers and handlers of undercover operatives: http://cryptome.org/fru-claimant2.htm On May 4 Fulton was reported in the Guardian to be threatening to reveal the identity of Stakeknife within a week if a broken deal for compensation with HMG was not made good. On May 11 the identity was published -- not first by Cryptome as some newspapers have said but by Scottish and Irish newspapers (Cryptome was alerted and grabbed the stories the night of May 10). Fulton has received several bullets indicating he will be killed for revelations about what he learned during his undercover work, has applied for a gun permit, and the police have refused to grant the permit. Fulton is one of a group of 12 former undercover agents who are hounding HMG for protection and/or compensation, and are pissed mightily that active agents are getting superior protection and treatment. The former agents are being killed one by one while HMG bides its time. There is a slim chance that the former agents will do unto others what is being done to them.
