From CNN:

Adrienne Kinne, a former U.S. Army Reserves Arab linguist, told ABC News the NSA was listening to the phone calls of U.S. military officers, journalists and aid workers overseas who were talking about “personal, private things with Americans who are not in any way, shape or form associated with anything to do with terrorism.”

According to Faulk, they would often share the contents of some of the more salacious calls stored on their computers, listening to what he called “phone sex” and “pillow talk.”

There are those who advocate Bush’s policies trampling our civil liberties because they buy the argument that the government wouldn’t abuse its power. Those people have no understanding of the intoxication of power or human nature.

Stories like this are why people are fighting for the rights upon which this nation were founded. It’s not right, it’s not patriotic, and it’s certainly not American to grant the government uncheck authority.
