Telling tales

I can’t wait for the first recorded high level conversation that’s going to reveal what’s really been going on lately in some higher circles of government and business to cut the cake in their favor.
Surveillance techniques are so advanced these days, as the media readily informs us, and what we hear and see is presumably just the tip of the iceberg. Wire-tapping and recording at a distance have long been officially used by security agencies.
Of course this can work both ways.
I should imagine the same techniques are also available to anyone with an “interest” and the necessary backing. Then there are those informers who will anonymously spread information for whatever reason as happened with Watergate. Secret and confidential documents are often cropping up in the public arena due to carelessness.
We would seem to be overdue for interesting revelations even if those in power are doing their best, as I’m sure they are, to prevent embarrassing disclosures.
Today one such confidential document has surfaced concerning a meeting between Bush and Blair before the invasion of Iraq war which could be embarrassing, to say the least, for these two old leaders, see here.
