<helicopters type=black> An Israeli company (Comverse) has worked together with the Mossad to tap the US govt according to a Foxnews report. I have collected links to the coverage of this at http://www.security.nl/artikel.php3?id=2712. The article is in Dutch but the links lead to english articles. The strange thing was that no-one picked this news up, except for Foxnews. The coverage at Foxnews 'suddenly' disappeared. </helicopters> Patrick -- patrick oonk - pine internet - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.pine.nl/~patrick T:+31-70-3111010 - F:+31-70-3111011 - Read news at http://security.nl PGPID 155C3934 fp DD29 1787 8F49 51B8 4FDF 2F64 A65C 42AE 155C 3934 Excuse of the day: Hard drive sleeping.
