da, a commissioner designated by the parliament is responsible for this task of monitoring. Each year, he drafts a public report. In the United States, the NSA's activities are monitored by an inspector general and the US attorney general. When will France follow suit? In recent months, members of Parliament have taken an interest in "big ears" ... belonging to the Americans. The Defense Commission recently issued a spiteful report about "Echelon" and the NSA (footnote: On the subject of Echelon, see "Global Electronic Surveillance," by Duncan Campbell, Allia Publishing). It is time for it also to study the practices of the DGSE and propose ways of monitoring them. This is an opportune time. A revolution in "tapping" is on the way. The secret service is planning to invest massively in interception of undersea cables. Before plunging into this adventure, could it not be subjected to a few democratic rules?
