Creepy Little Law

It has always been my opinion that the reason so many conservatives feel the need to pass laws outlawing behaviors that involve sexual activity is to compensate for their guilt over their own behavior. How many conservatives have issues with their own homosexuality; how many conservatives feel great guilt for viewing pornography and getting turned on; how many conservatives feel guilt over their cheating on their spouses and on their sexual perversions? I think that's why they are always trying to pass laws to prohibit homosexual rights and pornography.

The latest FISA bill expanded the government's right to spy on American citizens without a court order. Obama voted for the bill and it has cost him at least a few dollars - I have yet to donate to his campaign because it irritated me no end.

And sure enough, those in charge of the listening program (it is a Republican Administration, is it not?) are getting their jollies and abusing the rights given them. Nice going, Obama and friends. Tell me - who didn't see this coming?

Despite pledges by President George W. Bush and American intelligence officials to the contrary, hundreds of US citizens overseas have been eavesdropped on as they called friends and family back home, according to two former military intercept operators who worked at the giant National Security Agency (NSA) center in Fort Gordon, Georgia.

"These were just really everyday, average, ordinary Americans who happened to be in the Middle East, in our area of intercept and happened to be making these phone calls on satellite phones," said Adrienne Kinne, a 31-year old US Army Reserves Arab linguist assigned to a special military program at the NSA's Back Hall at Fort Gordon from November 2001 to 2003.

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.
