Whatever, this 'inquiring mind' want to know who did the taping and leaking. This is also the answer to all the idiots who say the government can listen in on my phone calls and read my emails. They naively have no idea how the most innocent of their words can be turned against them. They are blithely unaware of the list of words that are flagged by all the covert agencies that are spying on us. Unfortunately, I've lost my list of such words, but some of them are as benign as 'party,' one of the watchwords. No matter how inane or trivial my phone calls and emails might be, they are intended for one person, and one person only; the person on the other end of the conversation, and I, nor they, should want ANYONE butting in on them. My right to privacy; your right to privacy does not end at "their" ability to electronically invade that privacy. Is ife imitating art is here, or is it the reverse? We are living in Tom Cruise's "Minority Report." We've gone far beyond the feared threat of "1984" and "A Brave New World." We've entered a bizarre world where all men should fear to tread.
