The Estonian Security Police KAPO recently published their annual review of 2006. It is an interesting reading as always and widely commented by media. While the review is a public document, it is not quite simple to get hold of.

I accidentally happened to stumble on two pdf files.The English edition is here and the Estonian version here. How they came into my possession is a matter of confidentiality between a journalist and his source.

Although the 40 page document was drafted before the riots in Tallinn at the end of last month, it gives you an accurate background to the events. It also offers detailed explanations about the Russian government’s strategies and methods of their operations. This also puts the cyber attacks into a perspective.

Update: Since KAPO have released the Estonian version on their own web site, I took it down. I am happy that the joint efforts of bloggers in Estonia and elsewhere have contributed to a reconsideration by KAPO. Public documents must be availbale for members of public.

I am happy to take down the English version as well, as soon as KAPO will have it in their web site.

Update: KAPO have now released also the English version. It is downloadable as a pdf file on their web site. Therefore, I am also taking it down as obsolete.
