'Super spy' on the way
16apr06
PRESIDENT George W. Bush is sending a "super spy" to help run the US
embassy in Canberra.
Carol Rodley heads the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and
Research, which is the spy agency for America's diplomats.
She has access to America's most tightly guarded secrets about
al-Qaida and the global war on terror.
The appointment comes as the nomination of Robert McCallum as the
new US ambassador to Australia has been put on hold in the face of
opposition from the US Senate.
Ms Rodley's job will involve liaising with Australian intelligence
and law enforcement officers on terrorist threats in Asia and to
Australia.
She is part of the inner circle of Washington's top spies, which
includes the Director of National Intelligence, John Negroponte.
