Quote from the article:
The United States is conducting a secret 'dirty tricks' campaign
against UN Security Council delegations in New York as part of its
battle to win votes in favour of war against Iraq.
Details of the aggressive surveillance operation, which involves
interception of the home and office telephones and the emails of UN
delegates in New York, are revealed in a document leaked to The
Observer.
The disclosures were made in a memorandum written by a top official at
the National Security Agency - the US body which intercepts
communications around the world - and circulated to both senior agents
in his organisation and to a friendly foreign intelligence agency
asking for its input.
