I remember a few years ago when Mark Thomas was on about Menwith Hill being used by the yanks to monitor communications to gain financial data so this just means that they are starting to admit to more than they have previously

One way to find out.

The ability to survey the rest of the worlds communications gives the US a mighty edge in business advantage, trouble is we were part of the Echelon project but they wouldn't let us peek.  -  Either that or we didn't have a clue about how to use it...
