and cleverly probed
NSA/CIA/FBI by submitting items for publication approval, and when they
censored something... Bingo.
Because of the Catch-22 situation, the NSA gave up trying to censor many
books, since it can be used to confirm questions they would otherwise have
refused to answer.
The other books referenced within are also suggested reading.
I have sometimes edited for brevity the excerpts, especially
my newspaper clippings of stories flying by.

This is a U.S.-centric message, but keep reading even if you are not in the
U.S.; British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand citizens are also directly
affected.
This message is about ECHELON, which is an unbelievably huge world-wide
spying apparatus, including the domestic phone calls of many countries.
United States citizens' phone calls are being monitored in a dragnet
fashion not even George Orwell could have imagined.
This was all paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
Built in secret. Not debated.
The CALEA legislation is a shameful takes-us-into-the-abyss domestic spy bill.
It is for the FBI to simultaneously monitor HUGE amounts of our phone calls.
And when the judiciary found out about NSA monitoring U.S. citizens'
overseas telephone calls without a warrant: they approved the loss
of our Fourth Amendment rights.
Giving Presidential Directives the same force of law as the Constitution.
Congress has lost it too.
