Well, it's pretty clear that ECHELON has been a utter failure. I look back at all of the surprises that have popped up. The Iraq invasion of Kuwait is a classic example of something no one foresaw. The 9/11 disaster is another one. The bus bombings in London is another one. Should I go on?

As usual, governments with entrenched bureaucracies are incapable of functioning properly.
