“Leaked ‘Koan Terror Informations’ Published by Dai-San Shokan(第三書館), Inserting the Real Names and Face Pictures (of the agents)”, a Much More Serious problem than “Senkaku Video Leak”

“Leaked ‘Koan Terror Informations’ Published by Daisan Shokan(第三書館), Inserting the Real Names and Face Pictures (of the agents)” (流出「公安テロ情報」出版　第三書館、実名や顔写真掲載)(the Asahi Shimbun(朝日新聞))

In Japan, hidden by the Senkaku Islands incident between the Chinese “fish boat” and Japan Coast Guard‘s and its leak, there is the big problem that the information of the terrorists and our agents are leaked from the 3rd Foreign Affiars Division of Public Security Bureau(Koan-bu, 公安部) of Keishicho(警視庁), Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

cf. Keishicho Terror Information Scatters 13 countries and areas. Between to Pursue Responsibility and to Save their Credibility, the Police be Torn.(警視庁テロ情報、１３の国・地域に拡散　責任追及と信用確保…苦悩する警察)(Iza!, the Sankei Shimbun‘s official blog community.) etc.

This is the much more problem and many famous conservative blogs points so. But it’s hidden by the former problem.

The news is that Dai-San Shokan, of Japanese Red Army, a far left terror group(cf. its Japanese item of Wikipedia and Tsujimoto’s “Cousins” “Bought 31” at Dai-San Shokan / Hiro-san’s Diary(Added at 13:07 JST)), publishes the information to sell in public. And it will blow Japanese intelligence actions and our agents in addition.

The Video of Senkaku Video Leak Isn’t Secret from the Record

Mr. Aramar made an entry of his blog, with fixing up many posts about it on 2ch, the biggest Japanese forum, with extreme anonymity. One analyses on the entry:

One comment about security and crisis management.
I compare the data of the 3rd Foreign Affairs section, Public Safety Directorate and Senkaku Video Leak.* the Data of the 3rd Foreign Affairs Division, Public Security Bureau

• It’s a national secret since it’s made.
• Made in closed space.
• In the culture of closed information in the course of their work.
• Objectively, in common sense, it’s secret.

* Senkaku Video

• It wasn’t a national secret when it was made.
  →　First of all, it’s not a national secret or something.
  →　A national secret, it became after such a long time as 1 and half months.
• Made on the public ocean.
  →　It can be taken by media’s helicoptors, by civillian ships, and by so on.
• In the culture of public information in the course of their work.
  →　They disclose their record of operations.
  →　They show the videos of operations in the advertisements.
• Obviously, it’s not taken for secret.
  →　First of aall, at first, it’s not a national secret or something.
  →　The information is so shared that even the education DVD were made.

The data of the 3rd Foreign Affairs Division, Public Security Bureau(of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department) and Senkaku Video Leak are completely different problems. So the comparison itself is irrational.

Since he is made a mooked as sengoku38,
Sengoku(* Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshito Sengoku), a betrayer is running away with his personal grudge!

I do agree that.(It’s requotation since I cannot find the original message.) And everyone thanks the Coast Guard officer very much since he changed Japanese diplomatic position about the incident better.

The 3rd Foreign Affairs Division is a section against international terrorism, seeing also Middle East issues.

Koan(Public Safety) is the intelligence branch with Security Bureau of National Police Agency, Public Security Bureau of Tokyo Metropolitan Department, other 46 prefectural police force headquarters’ sections, and their police stations’ units. It’s a different organization from public safety comissions, counter-part of English police comittees. So Koan is rather an intelligence organization than police or police comittees.

The 3rd Forreign Affairs Division becomes a stage of “Gaiji Keisatsu”(外事警察, Foreign Affairs Police), NHK‘s mini TV series, the draft novel of which is by Iku Aso, writing many books about crisis management. On “Gaiji Keisatsu”, the draft novel of the TV show, Koan has two big parts: Koan(Public Safety) and Gaiji(Foreign Affairs). The former works against internal terrorism and the latter do for counter-intelligence and for counter-terrorism. And Gaiji Keisatsu is described as they collect informations with sending officers and agents to Middle East, too. So at the worst, the leak can be as a serious problem as such a leak of agents’ information from CIA or MI6.

I corrected mistranslation of Keishicho Koan-bu(警視庁公安部). My translation was Public Safety Directorate/Department. But on Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau.

I correctred the 3rd Foreign Affairs section to the 3rd Foreign Affairs Division. It’s also by Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau.
