US Reportedly Spied on Tony Blair
November 26, 2008
The Birmingham Post

U.S. intelligence officials kept a file on former Prime Minister Tony Blair's "private life", a former U.S. Navy communications operator said yesterday.

David Murfee Faulk, who worked at a listening post in Fort Gordon, Georgia, told ABCNews.com he saw the file on Blair in 2006.

But he refused to provide details of the contents of the file, held in an intelligence database called Anchory, other than to say it was a file on his "private life" and included information of a personal nature.

Whistleblower Faulk said he heard "pillow talk" phone calls of Iraq's first inter impresident, Ghazi al-Yawer, a key U.S. ally, when he worked as a U.S. Army Arab linguist assigned to a U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) facility at Fort Gordon, Georgia, between 2003 and 2007.

While not illegal to collect information on foreign leaders, the U.S. and the UK have pledged "not to collect on each other", several former U.S. intelligence officials told ABC.

i find it unlikely that tony blair's file would be on the desk of a com operator in Georgia. Probably explains why he can't give any details.
