editHall also practically invented "Dirty Tricks," engaged in bribery and blackmail (of the British and their allies as well as the enemy), manipulated the British & American media to his own ends, concocted & spread false reports of German atrocities in Belgium, and arranged the retaliatory German bombing of the home of a judge whom he personally considered too lenient on captured spies. Among many other questionable practices. Many of the files concerning his activities are still sealed as a "security risk" (or perhaps an embarrassment) to Britain. However successful he might have been, Hall was also vicious, predatory, egotistical, and decidedly sinister. --Michael K. Smith 17:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

- It's actually all detailed in Christopher Andrew (1986). Her Majesty's Secret Service: The Making of the British Intelligence Community. New York: Viking. ISBN 0-670-80941-1. When I have the time I will insert it all. This article is utterly unsourced and referenced anyway, and Beesly has long since been outdated. There are two biographies of Hall and none are even mentioned. --Harlsbottom (talk | library | book reviews) 13:37, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
