That is one of the questions we'll ask Duncan Campbell, the premier investigative reporter into the use of surveillance for political control, and the man who served as a consultant to the European Parliament on electronic surveillance.
We chat with him on Subversity, a KUCI public affairs program on 88.9 fm in Orange County, Calif., and Web-cast at http://kuci.org on Wednesday, October 11, 2000, from 5-6 p.m. Pacific time.
Hailing from Scotland, Campbell is well known for his association with the New Statesman, where in addition to his investigative reportage published there, he was associate editor and chair of its board. He was a member of the Labour Party's executive committee study groups on defence and on security services. He is a television film producer, investigative reporter and writer at IPTV Ltd., and is currently a senior research fellow with the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C., where he's been researching a study on government spying on Americans. He chats with us from the United Kingdom.
