Transcript from ‘MI5 Spies, Lies & Whistleblowers’ podcast
Annie – ,The key point is to get the balancing act of oversight and accountability within the country from which they’re operating. I’m not trying to say they’re all evil. Rogue elements that go ahead and do things without trying to get accountability, create the problem. Intelligence agencies are operating outside government and democratic control. That means they can commit crimes with impunity.
If you’re talking about 9/11, I presume you are, David was very outspoken about that. I did take an interest in the very shallow waters around that and some very credible people came out of the intelligence agencies.

14 INT | Op Banner | Martin Edwards Royal Marines
Martin Edwards was a Royal Marine and went on to be an operator in the elite 14th Intelligence unit. Originally from Rhyl, Martin escaped a horrific childhood to forge out a successful and varied career. He managed to retire as a multi-millionaire. His best-selling book, ‘Ultimate Survivor’ tells a mind-blowing story of IRA ambushes and run-ins with Sinn Fein politicians. Add to the mix a few military coups and being a bodyguard to royalty.
Transcript from ’14 INT | Op Banner’ podcast
Martin – They both had the same injuries as the bullets had gone through their stomach. James had gone for his pistol and taken a lot out, so she sat with him as he died in the hospital. I was on control because you have one operator doing the radio to call people in and the two operators. Well unfortunately he died bless him. I was going to go back in the marines until I was interviewed by a major who called me a fucking cowboy.
There was about a month before I said no and so when I went back I was all bravado. This is where I followed McGuinness into a shop. You get all cocky don’t you at the end of your tour, nothing can touch me. So I’m doing a foot patrol through Derry and McGuinness walks into this shop.
