It’s hard for soldiers to be deployed half-way around the globe in a desert country. It’s even harder when the mission demands that our soldiers have no intimate relationships with the native population. It should shock no one that soldiers stationed in Iraq engage in a lot of phone sex. It should shock people that employee’s of the National Security Agency (NSA) routinely eavesdrop on our soldier’s phone sex calls, pass tapes of the calls around, and make mocking critiques of their quality. What’s the Pentagon’s excuse?
Asked for comment about the ABC News report and accounts of intimate and private phone calls of military officers being passed around, a US intelligence official said “all employees of the US government” should expect that their telephone conversations could be monitored as part of an effort to safeguard security and “information assurance.”
Sound reasonable to you?
