Letter is a printed from a computer and reads: Special Branch Alert! On 30th January 2001 the Guardian newspaper reported that Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker had made a formal complaint about MI5 keeping a file on him when he was a Greenpeace member. Baker had been leaked details of his file. It was reported that much of the information came from a source that Special Branch officers in Sussex had inside South Downs Earth First! group. Until this matter is fully investigated all EF! groups should therefore be cautious about having any contact with SDEF! Members.
