Bush regime spies on soldiers' calls

Surprised that the same government that started an unnecessary war, revoked soldiers' signing bonuses if they got injured too severely to return to battle, and gutted medical care for vets just to make a political point is spying on soldiers' calls?

Two military linguists now say the National Security Agency has routinely spied on American military personnel and even Red Cross workers serving overseas. Discussions of personal matters were then shared among NSA operators.

A Senate committee is now looking into the revelation.

For several years, Bush screamed and cried that he wanted wiretap authority to stop terrorists. Apparently he thinks American soldiers are terrorists now.

Now it's clearer than ever that Bush doesn't give a damn about the troops. If he respected them, he wouldn't be spying on their phone calls.
