[edit] Olympic Games?

I find it hard to imagine the tapping was due to the Olympic Games. Monitoring the phone calls of high ranking State officials, including the PM, would reveal an enourmous wealth of the most secret, sensitive information on *all* subjects - defence, the economy, intelligence work, etc. To then say "it was done to monitor the Olympic Games" is, to say the least, spurious.

[edit] Figaro Ref

Removed this (below) since it doesn't make sense. "Leader of the PASOK opposition George Andreas Papandreou said that the Greek governement itself had designed the U.S. by giving the zone of listening range, in which the US embassy is included." Removed this reference, given for the above quote, since it doesn't work. ^[1]#^ ""Watergrec" : à qui profite l’écoute ?", Le Figaro, February 3, 2006.  Toby Douglass 11:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other related incidents?

I took this out of the body of the article because these claims need specific names and citations to back up the claims. Moreover, the September 2003 death of another employee, ruled at the time as a crime of passion, may also be related to the scandal, as well as the resignation of another employee working in the security systems of Vodafone.^[1] Cacophony (talk) 06:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move?

I propose this article be moved to Greek Watergate because the current name is clunky. I can't imagine anyone typing "Greek telephone tapping case 2004-2005" into a search engine. Cacophony (talk) 02:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
