Echelon Furor

The UK Sunday Times on the Internet had a story yesterday on the rising Echelon furor in Europe, "Spy Station F83." http://www.sunday-times.co.uk (see Focus feature) If you don't want to register we've mirrored the piece: http://jya.com/nsa-f83.htm It reviews the rapidly-growing NSA operation at Menwith Hill and Bad Aibling, with some recent information not covered in earlier reports. Several European pols -- German, French, Italian, et al -- are calling for investigations of alleged economic spying by NSA. NSA denies all, the writers say, except the Agency claims it's the best in the world at what it's capable of but not doing.
