The Italian La Repubblica stated that "while Defense Minister Antonio Martino suggests that Pollari arrange an appointment to meet an old friend of Italy. This old friend is Michael A. Ledeen, the old fox of American parallel intelligence conduits, who had once been declared persona non grata by Rome during 1980s."
A Vanity Fair commentary on this adds:
:According to La Repubblica, Nicolò Pollari had become frustrated by the C.I.A.'s refusal to let SISMI deliver a smoking gun that would justify an invasion of Iraq. At an unspecified date, he discussed the issue with Ledeen's longtime friend Minister of Defense Antonio Martino. Martino, the paper reported, told Pollari to expect a visit from "an old friend of Italy," namely Ledeen. Soon afterward, according to La Repubblica, Pollari allegedly took up the Niger matter with Ledeen when he was in Rome. Ledeen denies having had any such conversations. Pollari declined to be interviewed by Vanity Fair, and has denied playing any role in the Niger affair. Martino has declined to comment.

==Niger uranium forgeries==
::Sismi colonel Antonio Nucera gives an on the record interview to Il Giornale, published today. In it, Nucera confirms that it was he who called Rocco Martino, but says that he was urged to do it by the 60 year old Italian lady who worked as a Sismi asset at the Niger embassy in Rome, known by her Sismi codename "La Signora". Nucera says La Signora was eager to make some money and was "fed up with Sismi for not using her any more as in the past." Nucera is quoted, "I thought that she might be interested in cooperating with Rocco." He adds, "It's like when you introduce a bricklayer to a friend who needs him to refurbish his house. I cannot take the blame if, at the end of it, the bricklayer screws everything up." In other words, according to Nucera, the whole Niger forgeries scandal was dreamed up by La Signora.War and Piece: Nucera on the record, by Laura Rozen, 6 November 2005.

:Sir Antony Acland, a former head of the Diplomatic Service and one-time ambassador to the United States, joined the fray in support of another former head of the Foreign Office, Sir John Coles, who argued that British influence would be best served by staying outside the euro. Sir Antony was supported by Sir Ewen Ferguson and Sir Oliver Wright, former ambassadors to France and Germany, Sir John Graham, a former permanent UK representative to Nato, and Sir Peter Marshall, one-time permanent representative to the United Nations... Last week, 16 diplomats led by Sir Michael Palliser, another former head of the Diplomatic Service, responded saying it would be a "dereliction of the national interest" to allow Britain to be sidelined in the EU by remaining outside the single currency.By Robert Shrimsley Chief Political Correspondent Anti-euro campaign backed by ex-envoys Daily Telegraph, Monday 12 July 1999

A 2015 review of Government papers on child abuse was critical of comments made by Duff in correspondence with Cabinet Secretary Sir Robert Armstrong three decades earlier:
::To give one striking example, in response to claims from two sources that a named Member of Parliament "has a penchant for small boys". matters conclude with acceptance of his word that he does not and the observation that "At the present stage ... the risks of political embarrassment to the Government is rather greater than the security danger." The risk to children is not considered at all.[Sir Antony Duff to Sir Robert Armstrong 4/11/86]Supplement to the Wanless-Whittam Review, 22 July 2015. 
According to the report of Sir Desmond de Silva's Pat Finucane Review, Duff was involved in discussions about the re-recruitment of agent Brian Nelson in 1987.Sir Desmond de Silva, Volume 1 - Chapter 6: The recruitment of Brian Nelson, Pat Finucane Review, 12 December 2012.

Antony Fisher

Antony Fisher (1915-1988) was a member of the Mont Pelerin Society and the founder of the libertarian think tank, the Institute of Economic Affairs.
Brian Wheeler writes about Fisher's founding of the Institute for BBC Online:
:It may be the dominant political force of our times, but the economic creed that came to be known as Thatcherism was born in obscure circumstances. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, politics was dominated by a single philosophy. Central planning and state control of industry was seen by both Labour and Conservatives as the only sensible way to run Britain's economy... It fell to outsiders such as Antony Fisher - an Old Etonian chicken farmer - to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy; even if, initially, they were written off as cranks or dangerous ideologues. Fisher, who made his fortune by pioneering battery farming techniques, founded a think tank, The Institute of Economic Affairs, in the mid 1950s to spread his free market philosophy.Brian Wheeler Tory!
