John Aravosis at Americablog just bought the
cell phone records of General Clark for the time period of a few days last November. It seems that anyone can do this with just the number and a credit card. We could all compete with the NSA on terrorism watch! Also, we could find out all the dirt on public officials and politicians...
What John did was unethical, and that was the point of doing it; to show that our privacy is unprotected provided that the other side has our number and some money.
