Tele Tapes

Without going into the controversy whether the telephone tapes and counter tapes are fake or genuine, what surprises me is the calibre of our leaders who ostensibly indulge in such sensitive conversations over the phone, totally oblivious of the fact that the telephone is the most unsecured mode of communication.  How would one be sure that our leaders will not discuss or give out the most sensitive national secrets to one another over the phone as well?  I will, therefore, request the JCSC, the GHQ, the NSC, the ISI, the FIA, the IB and other similar agencies to be extremely careful in sharing important national security matters, particularly operational defence plans etc., with such leaders in their briefings to them, in whatever position they might be.
