I think I am going to throw up
I just heard on Rachel Maddow about the NSA spying on and recording phone conversations of Americans working abroad. Apparently some of the conversations were shared between NSA employees as in "hey, get a load of this!"
CNN also has reported this.

Six or seven years ago, I dated someone who spent 3 months working for the US embassy in Saudi Arabia.
Holy crap do I feel violated now.
Re: I think I am going to throw up
As someone who regularly spends weeks at a time overseas away from my husband...I am so with you.
This is disgusting. I expect the government of Zimbabwe to tap my calls, and know they do when I call our office there; but c'mon, aren't we at least a little bit better than Mugabe??
No kidding! He was told the Saudis had the whole place wiretapped, so I feel you.
And to pull the lurkers minds out of the gutter, as I told Fenton over on E08, we usually reigned it in at the PG-13 point because we knew the Saudis were listening in. But still. Yuck.
Yeah, I've always had my suspicions. So we don't let things get out hand
I've met enough "regional security officers," to know that our intelligence services have their fair share of frat boys who never grew up...
I believe it. I have heard things from people who have had lie detector tests as part of security clearances. Those people have a strange obsession with people's sex lives.
