Amazing but TRUE: Top secret technology can sometimes read targeted minds.
Here is some evidence (also cached by Google) and more evidence to document how this could technically be true. Here is a detailed scientific paper (in MS-Word format).
(It might be possible to combine an improved version of a 1976 Malech patent device for remotely reading brainwaves by bouncing 2 mixed EMF beams off of a brain and reading filtered bounced-back EMF data from the brain with other technology that can 

translate brainwaves-to-speech.Brainwave Manipulation (and monitoring and maybe even recording.)
Amazing technology feats include: sound beam technology, subliminal messages, mind reading, bodymind manipulation probably using brainwaves manipulation, sleep now attacks, influencing dreams, and/or inflicting pain and/or simulated illness.
