It states: 'Within Europe all e-mail telephone and fax communications are routinely intercepted by the United States National Security Agency transferring all target information from the European mainland via the strategic hub of London then by satellite to Fort Meade in Maryland via the crucial hub at Menwith Hill in the North York moors in the UK.' The report confirms for the first time the existence of the secretive ECHELON system.

... . Without them, we'd be little better than Belgium.' To the former head of the US National Security Agency, Britain was as useful to the US as Australia- they both had large US listening stations on them, Pine Gap in Australia and Cheltenham and Menwith Hill in the UK. The truly odd thing is that this geo-political grovelling for intelligence crumbs didn't do much good. Urban's book is a long catalogue of failures. For all the global surveillance of the National Security Agency and its minor allies in Britain, Australia ...

... review I was rung by a TV journalist who had just started surveying the ground prior to making a programme about British intelligence in the light of the Iraq experience. He was an intelligent man but knew little about the subject: he hadn't heard of Richard Tomlinson or Menwith Hill. Yet he was to start filming a couple of weeks after talking to me. He will do a competent job but he will never get close to what I would regard as the important issues. But – this is one of the central points – ...
