Government Officials Not Immune From NSA Spying
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 - The New York Times reported that employees of the National Security Administration (NSA) tested a variety of spying techniques in government buildings prior to the widespread use of email and telephone monitoring as well as hidden cameras aimed at U.S. citizens throughout the country beginning in 2002. Not only were telephone conversations of high ranking government officials recorded and their emails captured, but miniature cameras were placed in rest rooms in the Capitol, Pentagon, FBI Headquarters, and the White House.
According to a source in the NSA who requested anonymity, groups of NSA agents stood in front of large monitors watching senators, cabinet members, and other senior staff using toilet facilities. "Look at her big, brown ass," a NSA agent reportedly commented while viewing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice using a stall at the Pentagon.
Other agents, according to this source, would comment on the extraordinarily small penis sizes of Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and Senior Advisor Karl Rove as viewed at the urinals. They were heard describing former Secretary of State Colin Powell's member as a "hugh ding dong." In addition, bets were reportedly made by the NSA agents on the lengths of urination timed on stop watches.
Most embarrassing of all, said this source, was watching Senator Bill Frist and Congressman Tom Delay engaged in masturbating marathons in one of the Senate's private facilities while looking at photos in muscle magazines. "The country should only know what goes on in the private lives of our country's leaders," said the NSA employee.
The telephone and email surveillance turned up contacts with prostitutes, both male and female, solicitation of drugs, and insider trading in the stock market, the source reported. In one case described as "obscene" by the source, Senator Rick Santorum was heard "shaking down" pro-life organizations for donations in return for his support.
The Times reported knowledge of the NSA testing its spying equipment in government buildings for the past year and said it withheld publishing the information due to national security concerns. Cheney and Rumsfeld complained that they could be accused of "penis envy" while conducting the war in Iraq. "It's the wrong message to send our enemies in the middle east," Cheney reportedly told the Times.
