Shelley, John Sawers, Head of M16, Security Undermined by Face Book Information

By: John_York

The next head of MI6, John Sawers due to take over the intelligence agency in November 09 has had his security undermined by detailed postings on the internet, predominantly on the social networking site Face Book by himself and his wife Shelley Sawyers. Giving detailed information on their family and friends including photos of their residence, where they holiday and many more aspects of their lives, totally undermining what it is to be the head of Britians intelligence agency where in years past the officers in charge usually remained totally unknown to the public even several years AFTER their retirement.

'Congrats on the new job, already dubbed Sir Uncle "C" by nephews in the know!'

As of the writing of this article Face Book has blocked the Shelley Sawers page, resulting in the following page.

However, much of the blocked information is still accessible, being barely a few mouse clicks away as the below image illustrates.

What is even more alarming in this case is that the Sawers family has been part of the intelligence community for several decades, which implies a totally carefree attitude despite the obvious heightened risks from terrorism, especially following Sept 11th and 7th of July, the fourth anniversary of which will be in barely 48 hours time.

Perhaps MI6 should take a look at this site too http://congowall.ning.com/profile/ShelleySawers - which appears to have more detailed and personal information on Shelley Sawers and co!
