Exclusive: Inside Account of U.S. Eavesdropping on Americans [2008]
ABC News ^ | Oct. 9, 2008 | BRIAN ROSS

Posted on 06/11/2013 6:23:33 AM PDT by BarnacleCenturion

Faulk says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator's computer.

"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.

Faulk said he joined in to listen, and talk about it during breaks in Back Hall's "smoke pit," but ended up feeling badly about his actions.

Will someone clue Charles Krauthammer in on this? His faith in Big Government is touching, as demonstrated on Fox’s Special Report yesterday. He and Juan Williams agreed that only “foreigners” had their calls intercepted, which everyone knows is a lie.

When Juan Williams agrees with you, you know you are dead wrong.

To be fair to Ross, he at times has been more hard hitting than the average lib reporter, IIRC.

All you have to do is remember that during the few last years numerous high ranking military officers have been purged. Where do you think this information came from? Do you think the subordinates came forward on their own.

I would suggest that the subordinates were probably recruited using evidence uncovered from targeted officers.

Petraeus is a perfect example. Despite all the efforts of his girlfriend to go undetected, they matched credit card records, email, and phone call metadata to zero in on them.

They wanted him out, so they found evidence to remove him. The thought police rule. That’s how this works.

Coincidentally, Shia Labouf was plugging one of the Transformers movies with Jay Leno in 2008 and we got this little gem:

“And he told me that one in five phone calls that you make are recorded and logged, and I laughed at him. And then he played back a phone conversation I had two years prior to joining the picture...”

So thrilled that our public employees are finding such an effective and productive way to earn their salaries as snooping in on Americans’ private conversations.

THAT will certainly protect us from the Chinese, the Syrians, and the Iranians.

They should take these wasteful loser arseholes up to the top floor of the office building and see if they can fly.

Smart people will limit their phone use to the essentials,

I would hope that those who have their ear to their cell as they peruse the aisle of the various stores, blocking aisles and being obnoxious, would take notice and get off the damn phone or move out of the way.

But, alas, that is only wishful thinking.

They all are lying to us. That is why the Founders wrote a Constitution distrustful of government power.

> meetings in the neighborhood ice cream parlor. Cappuccino,
> gelati, and a little private conversation.

Yup. That’s how they do it in totalitarian countries, too. Clandestine meetings at prearranged coordinates.

Looks like we’ve become one of those totalitarian countries, now.

They have lied about Benghazi, about the IRS scandal being limited to a few rogue agents, about capturing data on millions of Americans. Anyone who trusts a thing the fedgov says anymore is a fool and a useful idiot.

“To be fair to Ross, he at times has been more hard hitting than the average lib reporter, IIRC.”

He has shown the ability to do the job at times. He should have been digging into everything this regime has been doing. He hasn’t!! He’s a huge liberal!! That’s why you cannot trust these people. They are the enemy!

This is impossible because the NSA is only collecting metadata.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial page and John Mukasey said so!

How many billions have been spent on this spying program?

1.9 Million Sq feet of buildings in Utah...equals almost 44 acres of buildings!!!

IF this program is so successful at stopping terrorism, can anyone explain to me how 2 Chechen brothers used cell phones-—called back & forth to their family in Russia—and managed to not get stopped in advance of their attack on the Boston Marathon?

Either there is WAAAAAYYY too much information being gathered & sorted thru-—or this is all a lie about ‘we are stopping attacks’.

In it’s entire structure, this spying on American who have done nothing is just plain UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

No different from going after peaceful Americans who own guns instead of going after the criminals.

This administration is corrupt from the top down.

From the 2008 article, General Hayden defends information gathering

-- we are narrowly focused and drilled on protecting the nation against al Qaeda--

now we are partnering, arming and funding al Qaeda...(Libya, Syria) . Do not secure our border..or act on information when aware of risk (fort hood, Boston bombing)
