Republicans Want To Hear Your Pillow Talk

It was reported over the weekend that Bush's warrant-less wiretapping including Americans serving in the military and aid workers calling home to their family and their spouses. 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."

David Murfee Faulk, a former U.S. Navy Arab linguist, said in the news report that he and his colleagues were listening to the conversations of military officers in Iraq who were talking with their spouses or girlfriends in the United States.

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."

Both Kinne and Faulk worked at the NSA listening facility at Fort Gordon, Georgia. They told ABC that when linguists complained to supervisors about eavesdropping on personal conversations, they were ordered to continue transcribing the calls.

As if the trampling of the Constitution and the right to privacy by the current administration wasn't bad enough, McCain has already supported the right for gratuitous titillation for his administration if he is allowed to steal the election.
