#8 There was little of any value in Kerry's conversation, I would imagine. The fact that it was done and publicized was enough to throw in the face of O & Co. A b*tchslap in diplospeak, to be sure. |

#7 Anyone who eavesdropped on John Kerry probably fell into a deep slumber about 3 minutes into the conversation and most likely is still sleeping today. |

#6 I'm pretty sure Henry Stimson would read Mr. Kerry's mail. Homer Simpson would read Kerry's mail. The question is why anyone would admit it? Especially the Israelis. |

#5 ANY official communications should be done over an encrypted line. Yes, encryption can be broken, but only an idiot would discuss anything but the weather over an unencrypted line. Of course, we are talking Jawn Kerry here. |

#3 The second paragraph of the article is particularly interesting, I thought. During the peak stage of peace talks last year, Kerry spoke regularly with high-ranking negotiating partners in the Middle East. At the time, some of these calls were not made on encrypted equipment, but instead on normal telephones, with the conversations transmitted by satellite. Intelligence agencies intercepted some of those calls. The government in Jerusalem then used the information obtained in international negotiations aiming to reach a diplomatic solution in the Middle East. In other words, pretty much anyone could have listened in, and probably did. |
