"Both said the NSA's intercept program was intended to pick up intelligence about terrorists and their plans -- which sometimes happened. But the operators also would frequently tap into phone calls by Americans living abroad -- usually satellite phone calls made from the Middle East, or routine calls made by U.S. military personnel from phones in Baghdad's Green Zone, they said in interviews broadcast yesterday. Faulk said some of his fellow operators, after stumbling upon a titillating conversation, couldn't wait to let their friends in on it." (thanks Marcy)
