mal, there were quite a few articles written on echellon. It's how the US conned countries like Spain to join the... tararataram.... war on TERROR! It's a huge communications system, invented by someone apparently no older than adolescent which tracks people no matter where they are. Bin Ladden has it and that's one reason why the US is worried sick. Channey lives in a huge bunker (Atomic bomb-proof) yet OBL can and has tracked him. It's an awesome thing, if my understanding of it is right. So countries are shown this thing and told to play ball, pay an absolute fortune for its maintenance, have all the info sieved through CIA and let the CIA twist whichever testicle they want whenever they want.
