Echelon

I found this article from the American Thinker today. What's interesting is that the Echelon program under Clinton failed to catch the 9/11 plotters who had been actively working in the U.S. before Dubya took office. Maybe Clinton spent the resources spying on his political enemies as opposed to American enemies.

Now, to be fair, I don't know what kind of priority the Bush Administration put terrorism under before 9/11 and I believe it wasn't enough. However, we really can't be sure what kind of priority Clinton put on it either other than if he was doing what Dubya is doing, it seems more likely that Clinton was the one spying on average Americans.
