Few Major U.S. Media Outlets Pick up U.K. Report of U.S. Plans to Spy on U.N. Members By The New Mexican 03/02/2003 In a story not yet picked up by the Associated Press, CNN, The New York Times and many other major U.S.-based news outlets, the U.K. newspaper The Observer published a leaked secret memo written by an official of the National Security Agency, instructing staff to tap the business and home phones and e-mail of key swing vote delegates to the U.N. Security Council. Here's the link to the full story on The Observer site. http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,905899,00.html Revealed: US dirty tricks to win vote on Iraq war As of Monday afternoon, several U.S. media outlets had reported the story, along with many others around the world, while others had not. The Drudge Report covered the story, but called it false on the basis of Anglicisms in the Web text of the memo.

These media are among the ones that did report the story of the memo (sources: direct visits to sites and a Google News search of 4,500 sites in the format, headline, source: * U.K. Newspaper Says it Has Secret Memo Detailing U.S. Plans to Bug U.N.
