More Shoes Dropping
From ABC News:
A senior federal law enforcement official tells us the government is tracking the phone numbers we call in an effort to root out confidential sources.

"It's time for you to get some new cell phones, quick," the source told us in an in-person conversation.

We do not know how the government determined who we are calling, or whether our phone records were provided to the government as part of the recently-disclosed NSA collection of domestic phone calls.

Other sources have told us that phone calls and contacts by reporters for ABC News, along with the New York Times and the Washington Post, are being examined as part of a widespread CIA leak investigation.
Government spying on reporters. I'm soooo surprised!

If you'll remember, Jr.'s job for his father was thuggishly plugging leaks in dad's administration. His paranoia knows few bounds.

Just wait. It won't be long until there will be confirmation of an already rumored story of government spying on political figures, i.e. Bill Richardson or Howard Dean. The Bush administration firmly believes that the end justifies the means. Anything they define as the end is good, and any means at their disposal is fair game.
