Can you believe this? This sort of thing makes me uncomfortable. I don't think this was necessary. U.S. spied on Americans' intimate conversations abroad.
Ex-Army Reserves Arab linguist said the U.S. government listened to private calls. Another linguist said NSA eavesdropped on 'pillow talk' conversations. U.S. surveillance program allows calls related only to terrorism to be monitored. Linguists said that when they complained, they were told to keep listening.A terrorist surveillance program instituted by the Bush administration allows the intelligence community to monitor phone calls between the United States and overseas without a court order -- as long as one party to the call is a terror suspect.

Monitoring phone call to a terrorist is a necessary part of winning war on terrorism, unfortunately, anybody inside USA doesn't like it should begin thinking of another way to communicate with her terror lover from foreign country now, instead of whining about it. lol!!

That is aweful, before you know it we all might be spied on..how do we seriously know we aren't in some ways. Maybe they are trigger words that start a recording..never now...
