The FISA Bill Does Indeed Suck

Apparently, Reichert is psyched that the NSA is illegally listening to soldier's having phone sex with their wives.

Faulk says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator's computer.

"Hey, check this out," Faulk says he would be told, "there's good phone sex or there's some pillow talk, pull up this call, it's really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, 'Wow, this was crazy'," Faulk told ABC News.

Faulk said he joined in to listen, and talk about it during breaks in Back Hall's "smoke pit," but ended up feeling badly about his actions.

"I feel that it was something that the people should not have done. Including me," he said.

I can see why Reichert would want to attack Darcy on this.  Then again, I can also see why he might support illegal eavesdropping on phone sex from US soldiers.
