Illegal Wire-Tapping: Protecting Us from the Evils of Phone Sex

Two whistle blowers have come forward to share their experiences working at the NSA, where they listened in on wire-tapped conversations. Despite assurances by both the President and Gen. Michael Hayden, then director of the NSA (now of the CIA) that the privacy of Americans overseas would be rigorously upheld, and that private calls were not being monitored, David Murfee Faulk, recently came forward with this account of a day in the life of an NSA operator:

"'Hey, check this out,' Faulk says he would be told, 'there's good phone sex or there's some pillow talk, pull up this call, it's really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, 'Wow, this was crazy',' Faulk told ABC News."
