This is one of the most underreported cases within the media. Katherine Gun, a GCHQ staff member and 'whistleblower' exposed the fact that the US and UK governments were spying on the offices and homes of the UN member states who held the balance just prior to the Iraq war. she is due to go to court this month but according to the Guardian the charges will probably be dropped because if the case goes ahead it would require disclosure of classified information the government wouldn't be happy for people to know about. I fyou want to know more you can just Google her name or go to www.accuracy.org/gun/
