The Spying Is Even Worse ... If That's Possible

ABC News was shocked to find out that not only is the government monitoring phone calls to protect us from terrorists, they are monitoring people critical of the administration and looking for whistleblowers -- pardon me -- LEAKERS.

A senior federal law enforcement official tells ABC News the government is tracking the phone numbers we call in an effort to root out confidential sources.

"It’s time for you to get some new cell phones, quick," the source told us in an in-person conversation.

ABC News does not know how the government determined who we are calling, or whether our phone records were provided to the government as part of the recently-disclosed NSA collection of domestic phone calls.

Other sources have told us that phone calls and contacts by reporters for ABC News, along with the New York Times and the Washington Post, are being examined as part of a widespread CIA leak investigation.

Not only will they break the law and cover it up, but they will intimidate anyone who tries to "rat them out."
