TOP SECRET SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
How the United States spies on us all
by Philippe Rivière
Most discreet information agency
by Patrick S. Poole
Lifting the veil
US spy satellites currently in use
With an annual budget of $26.7 billion - as much as during
the cold war - the American intelligence services are the
best equipped in the world. Strategic alliances and powerful
technology allow them to tap into the world's telephones,
faxes and electronic mail as a matter of routine. But the
US's biggest trump card is the cooperation it receives from
the police and armed forces of other states more concerned
with surveillance than with protecting individual liberties.
