http://twitter.com/#!/gloomynewsこれはスクープの可能性。豪シドニーモーニングヘラルド紙が独自入手したWikileaks米公電ファイルによれば、２００６年９月に米国務省情報調査局（INR）が、日本外務省との話し合いで、英・豪と同様の諜報体制を敷いて中国・北朝鮮・イランに対する諜報活動を強化する計画が提案されたと。
２００６年９月の米公電によれば、米国務省情報調査局ランドール・フォート局長が、日本外務省の諜報責任者（国際情報統括官？）との話し合いで、「未活用の諜報資産」と見なされる日本企業の世界情報網を米・豪・英・日本の諜報活動に引き込むよう提案。
フォート局長曰く「日本は、イランのような国においても経済上、外交上存在感があり、合衆国の利益に適う見識が引き出せる可能性がある。」さらにフォート局長は、米大使館がないイラン国内で、情報収集できる「特異な条件」を日本が有していると説明。
米国務省側の協力要請に対し、日本外務省側の担当者は、日本国内法における諜報体制の不備、守秘体制の不備を説明。するとフォート局長は、日本政府の機密を扱う体制を一歩前進させるべきと提案、アメリカの諜報組織の機密保持体制に習うべきと指導。さらにその政治的な指針を豪政府に学べと指導。
米国務省情報調査局フォート局長の提案（圧力？）に対し、日本外務省の担当者は機密保持体制の強化は必要としながらも、政治的状況に依存するので現状では（諜報協力は）難しいと回答。
フォート局長は２００８年１１月にも豪防衛情報機構モーリー・マクナーン長官、マイケル・シューブリッジ副長官と日本の諜報協力について会談。
するとマクナーン長官らは「北朝鮮や中国の海軍力に対する懸念から、特に日本防衛省情報本部上層部において、米・豪・日本３国間諜報協定へ前進のサインが伺えると説明。
前記ヘラルド紙のスクープが事実であれば、２０１０年に米政府が日本に対し、イラン・アザデガン油田から完全撤退するよう圧力をかけた事態の背景に新たな意味が加わったように思う。〜つまり米国から「スパイになれ、さもなくば出て行け！」と言われたようなものか？

☆Spies step up co-operation with US, Japan
（オーストラリア紙「シドニーモーニングヘラルド」）
http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/spies-step-up-cooperation-with-us-japan-20110121-19zzx.htmlAUSTRALIAN spy agencies have intensified secret operations with the US and Japan, seeking to prise sensitive information out of China, North Korea and Iran, according to leaked US diplomatic cables.
But the allied intelligence effort has been set back by serious concerns over poor security in Japan for handling secret documents.
The insight into co-operation between Japanese, US and Australian intelligence agencies has been provided by secret US embassy cables obtained by WikiLeaks and provided exclusively to the Herald. The cables show a major push by the three countries dating back to 2006 to unite in response to China's growing economic and military might.

A leaked cable from September 2006 reveals that in discussions with Japanese intelligence officials, a senior US official argued strongly for enhanced intelligence co-operation.
''A deep-rooted intelligence relationship could - and should - become part of the bedrock of the US-Japan alliance, just as it was with our British and Australian allies,'' said Randall Fort, head of the US State Department Intelligence and Research Bureau. The leaked US cables show Japanese officials proposed an intensification of intelligence exchanges on regional subjects, and Mr Fort agreed to set up meetings to ''exchange views on China and where it was headed in the next five years''.
The cables reveal that problems posed by North Korea and Iran, together with the threat of terrorism, prompted moves towards greater intelligence co-operation between Tokyo, Washington and Canberra.
In a meeting with senior Japanese Foreign Ministry intelligence officials, Mr Fort urged his counterparts to tap the ''underutilised assets'' represented by the global network of Japanese businesses.
''Japan, with its economic and diplomatic presence in countries like Iran, could draw on insights that would be of great interest to the United States,''
Japan had a ''unique opportunity'' to collect intelligence inside Iran where the US had no embassy, he argued.
''Any diplomatic or intelligence reporting Japan received from Iran, no matter how seemingly mundane, would be extremely valuable to us.''
The cables reveal concerns about Japanese security, reinforced by spy scandals involving China and Russia, constrained US and Australian co-operation with Japan.
In his 2006 discussions, Mr Fort called on Japan to take ''additional steps to improve internal controls over classified information''. He also offered to share Washington's experiences in handling classified information.
Mr Fort suggested Japan study how the Australian government had tackled this issue.
Australian intelligence and security agencies implemented improved security after an agreement between John Howard and President George Bush to give Australia greater access to secret US information.
''The Australians have done an outstanding job of protecting classified information,'' Mr Fort said.
Japanese officials acknowledged the need for improved security, but emphasised reform was difficult and dependent on political attention.
In November 2008, Mr Fort discussed the issue of intelligence co-operation with Japan with senior Australian intelligence officials, the cables revealed.
The director of the Defence Intelligence Organisation, Major- General Maurie McNarn, and his deputy, Michael Shoebridge, ''agreed that there were signs of progress within senior ranks of the Japanese regarding trilateral US-AUS-JPN efforts against countries of mutual concern - particularly within the defence intelligence establishment against such themes as North Korean [weapons of mass destruction] and China's naval capabilities''.
