http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,905899,00.html Revealed: US dirty tricks to win vote on Iraq war Secret document details American plan to bug phones and emails of key Security Council members Read the memo http://www.observer.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12239,905954,00.html The memo is directed at senior NSA officials and advises them that the agency is 'mounting a surge' aimed at gleaning information not only on how delegations on the Security Council will vote on any second resolution on Iraq, but also 'policies', 'negotiating positions', 'alliances' and 'dependencies' - the 'whole gamut of information that could give US policymakers an edge in obtaining results favourable to US goals or to head off surprises'. Dated 31 January 2003, the memo was circulated four days after the UN's chief weapons inspector Hans Blix produced his interim report on Iraqi compliance with UN resolution 1441. It was sent by Frank Koza, chief of staff in the 'Regional Targets' section of the NSA, which spies on countries that are viewed as strategically important for United States interests. Do you think Mr. Koza would answer questions about it? The pre- Total Information Awareness system seems to indicate he can be reached at 410-964-3814 in Columbia, MD, a 25 minute drive from Fort Meade. If he's encouraging tapping people's home phones, surely he can't object to a phone call simply asking for information. Learning more about this is clearly in the public interest. He should be given an opportunity to explain this disturbing news. Koza specifies that the information will be used for the US's 'QRC' - Quick Response Capability - 'against' the key delegations.
