Capitol Hill Blue, an independent website which covers Congress, is
reporting that " . . . the National Security Agency is wiretapping
reporters' phones, following journalists on a daily basis, searching their
homes and offices under a USA Patriot Act provision that allows "secret
and undisclosed searches" and pouring over financial and travel records of
hundreds of Washington-based reporters". Doug Thompson, a former daily
newspaper reporter and government worker who is the website's
owner/publisher, says he received a National Security letter (authorized
under the USA Patriot Act) asking for records and he responded with a
two-word expletive in what he termed an exercise of his First Amendment
rights.
