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.

We've entered a bizarre world where all men should fear to tread.
