[h3]Fed to ABC news: we're tapping your phones [/h3] A federal law-enforcement agent tipped off ABC news that their phones were being illegally wiretapped by the government in an attempt to catch US government whistleblowers who call the news-desk: [blockquote] "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. [/p]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.
