Why does John Hughes-Wilson complain that you've put his life in danger and then at the bottom of his e-mail to you, put his post code (which in the UK can narrow down an address search to as little as 15 or so properties)?  It's quite a common function to be able to pinpoint locations by post code using on-line mapping services or GPS.  He surely knew you'd publish the e-mail - because you always do and he claims to be a fan of the website.

Here's the Multimap link to J H-W's post code.

Funny fellow.  Ooops.  Shouldn't say that - he might sue me.

Sir,

I have pointed out quite clearly that at no time was I ever a member of the FRU in Northern Ireland, much less its Commanding Officer, as you published.    I now see that this falsehood has been picked up and repeated on Google!

Your continued publication of this lie is therefore both irresponsible and dangerous. There still remains a number of unreconstructed terrorists in Northern Ireland who may, as a result of your action, seek to cause harm to me or my family. Your actions have, in short, put me at risk - and all based on a lie published by you.

I would be grateful for the name and address of your lawyers. Or would you prefer the writ for libel and damages to be sent direct to John Young?

Yours faithfully

John Hughes-Wilson

To the Editor of the Cryptome Web Site

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was at no time, nor have I ever been, a member of the Force Reconnaissance Unit in Northern Ireland as you state on your otherwise admirable web site.

This is a false and misleading claim: it also has potentially dangerous repercussions, as I am sure you are aware.

If it is repeated  please be warned that you - and your woefully inaccurate reporter, "A" - will be the subject of legal action for libel and damages.

It is not true.

Publication is misleading and irresponsible.

Yours faithfully

John Hughes-Wilson
