TOP SECRET SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

     How the United States spies on us all

     Most discreet information agency

     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.
