The Belgian Senate committee recently received an anonymous 80 page manuscript from a person who claims to have been a member of Gladio from 1988-1990. The author of the manuscript is critical of the decision to close down the Belgian Gladio network. It details the start of the Belgian Gladio network immediately after World War Two by the Deuxieme Bureau. The final form of the post invasion "stay behind" network came into being in 1952 after co-operation between Belgian and British intelligence. The Senate committee is currently investigating evidence which seems to point to the existence of American clandestine structures connected to SHAPE. It appears that with the closing down of a number of national Gladio networks the US may have decided to keep their own contacts alive in order to have a fall-back for contingency situations.
