The Chatter Box

The BBC has an interesting piece describing chatter and how it is followed.

"... a phone call gave away the Karachi hide-out of Ramzi Binalshibh, the senior al-Qaeda suspect caught last September. It is thought a sample of his voice - recorded from an al-Jazeera interview - was fed into the NSA's computers; within days he made a satellite phone call, and the US had a location.

"And an intercepted e-mail led to the arrest last March of another suspected bin Laden aide, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. As 'chatter' indicated he was planning further attacks, satellite tracking of his associates' communications threw up an e-mail with his address."

This article appears to confirm my response to the Christian science Monitor piece below.
