. . . A different Echelon than the one we trade. . . ------------------------------------------------ Copied from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists [the keepers of the Doomsday Clock] February 24, 2000 Echelon On February 23, the European Parliament published a report alleging that the United States uses a global eavesdropping network called Echelon to give U.S. companies a commercial edge over their European competitors. The report, written by freelance journalist Duncan Campbell, has spurred allegations by many European countries that the United States--which jointly runs the network with Australia, Britain, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada--has converted its Cold War spy infrastructure into an industrial espionage network. In the March/April Bulletin, Jeffrey Richelson, a senior fellow at the National Security Archive, surveys the available information--including recently declassified documents--about the secretive eavesdropping network. He concludes that although Echelon's activities raise serious privacy concerns, it is not the "technological Big Brother" that some make it out to be.
