FBI confirms looking at reporter's phones

Earlier today, ABCNews reported that they were told by a source that their phone calls were being tracked by the federal government. Here is a further update from ABC's The Blotter.

The FBI pretty much confirmed the story. My favorite statement:

“It used to be very hard and complicated to do this, but it no longer is in the Bush administration,” said a senior federal official.

Also, remember Russell Tice, the former NSA official who said that he might reveal on Thursday, "the illegal use of space-based satellites and systems to spy on U.S. citizens?" Laura Rozen has been tracking some of the details today.
