My Comment: The Edward Snowden leaks just keep on coming. No mention on the country that is having all of it's phone calls recorded .... but I would put Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan on my list of possibles. I will also wager that in the event of a national emergency in the U.S. (i.e. another 9/11 or worse) .... this technology will be used against the U.S. and it's citizens (if it is not being used already). On a side note .... the above video is a must see.
