Talk:General Intelligence and Security Service

message: It is funny how the information about the connection between the Dutch Inteligence Agency AIVD and the genocide smuggler Frans van Anraat in the Dutch Wikipedia is censored and the "managers" there, have blocked the page in order to prevent this information to be added to the page!

message: "The service's focus on leftist activism is legendary; leftist activists exhibit great measures of paranoia relating to the service's activities, whether real or imaginary. This focus on leftist, rather than right-wing or Islamic organizations is a legacy from the Cold War and historical threats posed by the Red Army Faction and such."
This statement is not backed up with a reference. I don't doubt that it has its roots in fact, but such a contentious statement must surely have a reference. Nach0king 10:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I deleted the sentence "although their way of interrogating prisoners is questionable" under 'Influence and results'. This is obviously not based in fact. The Dutch security service has no executive powers, it cannot detain people. It can advice the police to detain a person, but any 'questionable' behaviour then can only be attributed to the police. --Tymen 22:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

message: many people in The Netherlands call the BVD/AiVD (De Klompen "clog" Gestapo) due to their total incapability in the 60/70 and later to stay out of international news "elephant in a china shop". should be added to their reputation locally. Markthemac (talk) 03:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I had added the 'new' logo :File:Logo AIVD.svg and removed a version of the 'old' logo :File:AIVD.jpg, but then I noticed in the article history that User:Fry1989 said in November 2017 that the old logo is still in use. Could someone find and add a citation for verification? – Editør (talk) 10:44, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I recently discussed this in the Facebook group for the Flags Of The World organisation. The AIVD appears to use the new standardised logo, but they still use the flag that is based on the old logo. This flag still flies at the AIVD HQ alongside a generic flag based on the standardised government logo. Fry1989 eh? 18:27, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Logo 

message: I suggest to add a "List of Directors-General". Most of the other Wikipedia article about spy agencies have a section about their Directors-General or equivalent. But AIVD is missing such section. How about the draft table below? I tried to include sources in English when available. Ignore the empty spaces around this table. Somehow this Wikipedia Talk page does not fully support table display. In the article those space would not be display. Only the table.
