Eavesdropping on Americans
ABC News: Exclusive: Inside Account of U.S. Eavesdropping on Americans
Despite pledges by President George W. Bush and American intelligence officials to the contrary, hundreds of US citizens overseas have been eavesdropped on as they called friends and family back home, according to two former military intercept operators who worked at the giant National Security Agency (NSA) center in Fort Gordon, Georgia.
When they had interesting conversations, they would tell each other so everyone could listen in on private conversations, telling each other the timestamps so they could listen to Americans who thought they were having a private intimate conversation (read “phone sex”).
