Echelon Report A European Parliament committee has released a draft of their report on the Echelon global surveillance network. The report is not overly alarmed by the system, downplaying network the extent and capabilities of the network. The report says the network is reliant on satellite and radio intercepts and not yet able to intercept a great deal of land line and fiber optic traffic. It's worth noting that the goal of the committee is to determine whether Echelon poses a risk to European citizen's privacy and whether it's being used for industrial espionage against European firms. This copy of the report on Cryptonome has links to the parliament version and also a history of revisions since the original draft was released on May 4. http://cryptome.org/echelon-ep.htm Miroslav Antic, http://www.antic.org/ Serbian News Network - SNN [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antic.org/
