The Globe and Mail - CSIS notes stolen, ex-spy says at Zundel deportation hearing

A former Canadian Security Intelligence Services agent's detailed notes about his experiences at the spy agency were stolen soon after he went public about his employer's shortcomings in 2000, the ex-agent testified yesterday. Testifying at the deportation hearing of Holocaust-denier Ernst Zundel in Toronto, former agent John Farrell said that both his computer and a collection of hard-copy notes disappeared. He said the loss has left him unable to answer many of the questions posed by Mr. Zundel's lawyers. The material disappeared from a friend's home where he had left it for safekeeping, Mr. Farrell said. (...) Mr. Zundel's lawyers -- Peter Lindsay and Chi-Kun Shi -- have been trying to erode the spy agency's credibility as a supplier of reliable information, hoping it will rock the faith of Mr. Justice Pierre Blais of the Federal Court in secret evidence the agency is using to justify deporting Mr. Zundel as a national-security risk.
