Since there seems to be a great deal of misinformation and paranoia
regarding ECHELON and the NSA, I'd like to remind everyone that, besides
as Leif mentioned it being old news, there is also a great deal of
information about it available. 

John Young over at Cryptome.org does a great job of accumulating such
information. A nice introduction to ECHELON is the report prepared for
EPIC, which they decided not to publish as an official EPIC report, but
still made available at Cryptome. Get your bed time reading at
http://cryptome.org/sigint-hr-dc.htm.

Enjoy,
Frank
