I caught this in the FT today.
Linguist says US intelligence spied on Blair
The part of the article that I want to draw attention to involves the Red Cross:
“Last month, Mr Faulk and another former NSA employee provided a rare glimpse into the veiled world of the NSA, by revealing that the spy agency had spied on journalists, soldiers, and non-governmental organisations, including the International Committee of the Red Cross. They told ABC that the NSA routinely spied on Americans by listening to private conversations, including pillow talk and, in some cases, phone sex.”
Post 9-11 policies driven by fear have killed privacy. We need it back.
