message: Seems to me that I read that "KURIOT" (that is: "KU-RIOT") was a digraph for the CIA itself (maybe the watch center or something like that...)  Wierd thing is that "Kuriot" itself is a word (Russian,I think)...for what it's worth... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.155.129.128 (talk • contribs) 10:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

message: CHATTER was Navy, not CIA; our own article on it even says so.  BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE were exactly the same thing; the name simply changed (several times), although this article quite clearly suggests that they were different (and unrelated) projects.  Dominic Streatfeild's Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control (ISBN-10: 031232572X; ISBN-13: 978-0312325725) has a chapter on BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE/MKULTRA if you need to cite something to ref that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.163.113.201 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: this is OR, but it could help to find the actual definitions
In researching PBSUCCESS on the CIA FOIA site, I discovered that PBCABOOSE is used in cables titles "CABLE TO DIRECTOR FROM LINCOLN RE GUATEMALA 1954 COUP". This also indicates LINCOLN means more than just and operation involving a basque seperatist movement. It appears that PBCABOOSE refers to reports concerning PBSUCCESS addressed to the Director.
Also, ESQUIRE refers to a person in the same diplomatic envoy as JMBLUG (from 255. Telegram From the CIA Station in Guatemala to Operation PBSUCCESS Headquarters in Florida/1/; http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/frus/ike/guat/20181.htm) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdirrim (talk • contribs) 18:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: In the article, EC is listed both for Ecuador, and in "Unidentified digraphs". (Given ECHELON, I guess EC is not Ecuador then? But I don't know.) --Avbentem (talk) 10:59, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

message: This article lists PB as meaning Guatemala... however, I've read elsewhere that PB means "Presidential Board." Any know any sources to back up either claim? For example, wasn't PBJOINTLY the operation code for the Berlin tunnel... thus not Guatemala?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jclingerman (talk • contribs) 20:22, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I have made some changes to this article to knock it into compliance with normal Wikipedia standards, but I believe there is a fundamental problem that needs to be tackled. The basic CIA cryptonym format is a defined digraph followed by other characters, and I believe was/is primarily for addressing cable/telex messages. In the article, cryptonyms of that type are mixed with other code names, many applicable only to operations or projects, not telex destinations. I propose to make a section dedicated to the 'telex' cryptonyms, and dump all the others in alphabetical order in one or more other sections. I'm expecting to get a copy of Waldron 2005 Ultimate Sacrifice on loan in about a week, so in the meantime perhaps other people might wish to comment on my plan.
