Are "they" going through the phone records of reporters?

[Bozita]

I'm thinking of Leslie Cauley who dropped the USA Today telephone records bomb.

And Dana Priest of WaPo "for her persistent, painstaking reports on secret “black site” prisons and other controversial features of the government’s counterterrorism campaign." (Pulitzer)

And James Risen and Eric Lichtblau of New York Times "for their carefully sourced stories on secret domestic eavesdropping that stirred a national debate on the boundary line between fighting terrorism and protecting civil liberty." {Pulitzer)

Are reporters buying throwaway cell phones in bulk?

1. If they weren't, they will be now.

2. No, and there were WMDs in Iraq, you need a warrant to wiretap

wiretapping is a limited program, we dont' torture, Saddam was behind 9/11, every vote is counted, and George Bush talks to God.
