Echelon is the code name for the international telecommunications
surveillance project that is carried out by the UK-USA alliance.
The UK-USA alliance is composed of the United States, England, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand. Echelon is operated by the top intelligence
organisations of these countries. The National Security Agency, of the
United States, may as well be considered as the head/leader of the project.
