CLOAK AND DAGGER

The whole world is bugged

From the National Security Agency's imposing headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, ringed by a double-chain fence topped by barbed wire with strands of electrified wire between them, America 'bugs' the world.
Nothing politically or militarily significant -- whether mentioned in a telephone call, in a conversation in the office of the secretary general of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, or in a company fax or e-mail -- escapes its attention.
Its computers 'vacuum the entire electromagnetic spectrum', homing in on 'key words' which may suggest something of interest to NSA customers is being transmitted.
