COMMENTS: PBS Airs Spying Ears
NBC's Lisa Myers offered a promotional preview for The Spy Factory, a documentary from PBS' Nova series. It examines the warrantless wiretapping of US citizens performed illegally by the National Security Agency until 2007, when Congress loosened the requirement to obtain court permission. Nova obtained an interview with spy Adrienne Kinne, an Arab linguist who worked at the NSA for two years. She described eavesdropping on the telephone calls by American journalists and aid workers and military personnel as being like "reading someone else's diary."
