ECHELON

Last week’s arrest in Hungary of a staffer for Senator Hillary Clinton has exposed severe privacy violations by VoIP provider Skype as well as the US National Security Agency. This according to accusations by the Hungarian police and the European Union.

Sooner or later, a country that spies on its neighbors will turn on its own people, violating their privacy, stealing their liberties. President Bush's grab for unchecked eavesdropping powers is the culmination of what the National Security Agency(NSA) has spent forty years doing unto others. And if you're upset by the idea of NSA tapping your phone, be advised NSA likely can also read your Windows software to access your computer.
