    NSA spying on US Soldiers

    By ikky  |  Posted October 10, 2008  |  Austin, Texas
     
    When I heard this story yesterday on another news channel I didn't want to believe it, then here it is again on CNN too. I was so afraid when the Patriot Act was passed again and then the FISA Amendment Act of 2008 signed into law this is right where we would go, I would rather have been wrong. Both Presidential candidates gave their approval to these laws, laws that are now impacting our soldiers and other citizens who have absolutely nothing to do with terrorism. I remember being upset about these and people calling me a paranoid idiot, "what is the problem if you aren't doing anything wrong?" they asked? Well this is exactly what I described, it is happening and unfortunately I was right. I am wishing I was just being a paranoid idiot. Here is part of the story from CNN, write your law makers and your candidates, let them know this is monstrously unacceptable: "The allegations were made by two former military intercept operators on a television news report Thursday evening. 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. Adrienne Kinne, a former U.S. Army Reserves Arab linguist, told ABC News the NSA was listening to the phone calls of U.S. military officers, journalists and aid workers overseas who were talking about "personal, private things with Americans who are not in any way, shape or form associated with anything to do with terrorism."
