U.S. Runs Global Eavesdropping System
According to classified documents recently released to a non-profit research institute, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) runs a vast eavesdropping system that intercepts military and private civilian telecommunications. Sources say that the system, code-named P-415 Echelon, allows the NSA to tap telephones, fax or e-mail transmissions by satellites and underwater cables. According to the documents, the system has been in use since the 1980s, and while its existence was suspected for years, the NSA had always denied that there ever was such a system.
