bug-happy

While Andrew Sullivan laments “the scandal of the American torture regime” under George Bush and Friends, the Daily Mail reports that Bill Clinton was apparently the head of an American eavesdropping regime in 1997.

American intelligence agencies were bugging Princess Diana’s telephone over her relationship with a US billionaire, the Mail’s sister paper has learned.

Evening Standard reports that she was even forced to abandon a planned holiday with her sons in the US with tycoon Teddy Forstmann on advice from secret services, who passed on their concerns to their British counterparts.

No doubt Diana, Princess of Wales, was just one of the many victims of this nefarious policy.
