' This should hardly be a surprise (Herve Stephan was similarly rebuffed in February 1999) but what is left unexplained is why the NSA was monitoring her at all. In February 2000 former NSA employee Wayne Madsen stated that 'undisclosed material held in US government files on Princess Diana was collected via the Echelon system because of ...

For the FBI and CIA it would be like records of conspiracies leading up to the assassination of JFK.
