[fse-esf] greek Watergate

[Yannis Almpanis]

Today it was relieved that the Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and 
several ministers had their mobile phones tapped for more than a year. The 
technology that was used indicates that the US secret agents are responsible 
for this incident.

There were also several left ant libertarian activists among the people who 
had their phones trapped p.e. Nikos Giannopoulos (Network for Political and 
Social Rights and Yannis Sifakakis Stop the war coalition). Planet 
Guantanamo is here!

Greek government's phones tapped
Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and several ministers had their 
mobile phones tapped for more than a year, the government has confirmed.

A spokesman said an investigation had been opened, but had not yet 
discovered who was conducting the surveillance.

The taps are reported to have begun before the Athens Olympics in 2004 and 
lasted until March last year.

They were detected by a telephone company manager dealing with customers who 
had reported technical problems.

About 100 mobiles belonging to politicians from both parties are thought to 
have been monitored.

"The phones tapped included the prime minister's, those of cabinet members, 
one former minister, now in opposition, and others," government spokesman 
Theodore Roussopoulos told reporters.

"The phone tapping was carried out by unknown person or persons using high 
technology."
