The strongest personal mpresson on me was to look

nto the operatons room ths most secret of roomswth bars on the wndows and specal codes for anyoneto be alowed n there. There were no staff there. Justths huge room of cabnets and computers andtwnklng lghts And not a soul The whole thng sautomated. Ths s spyng on thousands of people amnute and theres no one there Theres no oneneeded for t Because ts actually lke a great mportof technology whch has been plonked on the uetcountrysde n New e aland and spes on ts own . "The reporter descbes Ncys research methods Bycombng job ads, Goernment gaettes and electoralrolls, he found enough holes n securty to get the

names of many of (the GCB's) staff One day ncensored documents released to h m u nder freedom ofnformaton laws he realsed he could actually read thenames through the blacked out deletons WhenHager approached many of these spes they wereoften prepared to talk about ther secret work he says because mo st had strong doubts that what they weredong was, n fact, n ther countrys best nterests . And Hager ds coered from the spes h e spoke to thatwhen Wahopa was approed, the goernmentbureaucrats had actually led to the Prme Mnster(Dad ange) about ts real purpose What thespymasters kept from the Prme Mnster was the fact

that the Echelon system automatcally sendsntercepted commu ncatons drectly to New ealand'soerseas UUA partners Each UUA allancentercept base, such as Wahopa n New ealandand Geraldton n Western Australa s drected bycoputers loaded wth what are called dctonaresThe dctonay lsts any target sought a name a word,a num ber een ts though t a partcular oce Aseeryones phone or data messages pass through asatellte these bases are sftng through that feedlookng for matches to the targets lsted n thedctonary.

Ncky concluded: Perhaps the most shockngreelaton wa when I dscoered there wasn t one lstn there n the N facltes t wasnt the N lst whchthen went to Wellngton and they shared thentellgence Th ere were fe lsts there And bgger thanthe N lst was the Amecan lst And those wereAmercan targets They had nothng to do wth N andthe ntellgence whch that dctonary computer chose,the phone calls, all the emals, whateer t was thatwere pced ut by the Amercan lst went straght toWashngton. They weren't sent to N The wholeprncple of the Echelon system was to automate t Itwas the way the Unted tates could use, not just

ndrectly by lease ge us the ntellgence you get,but could actually use the foregn countres facltes asf they were ts own. And so the ntellgence whch s

collected that the U wants from t goes straght backto Washngton no dfferent than f t had an Amercanflag flappng outsde and t was an Amercan staton

Dear Zohl,

I'm wting for al of us in the Chstchuh Anti-BasesCampaign. We remember Diana for her enthusiasticpaicipation in the 10day AntiBases Tour of Aoteaain November 99. We visited the four foreign bases inthe Noth and South Islands That included an "assaulton the US Navy nuclear misse targeting obseato ina snowstorm, 4000 feet in the mountains ofMaborough We had to climb all 4000 feet in the cold

and wet Aussies, Kiwis and many Pacific slanders. Ihave a wonder photo of Diana and sevel other vewet cold activists on the descent fm the base ThepOice thought we cold al colapse of hypothemia

We didn't know Diana for long in 99 and we haventkept in contact except thugh mutual fends andactivists But we wmiss her greay as a friendsuppoer and activist in ve tubled times

We send our sincee sympathy to al of Dianas family'"and fends at this ve sad time

Yours in solidaty
