No doubt the NSA did the intercepts and provided the info to Georgia. Dunno if we gave Georgia the go ahead and do this.
It might hint at our intercept capabilities. :(

Do not worry - these intercepts, if genuine, could have been easily made by Georgian special service. Since these appear to be mobile phone conversation, then this means they were carried through one of the two private Georgian mobile phone operators in South Ossetia... one could have listened to that merely sitting in Tbilisi... Just take my word on this - they have all necessary equipment in Tbilisi
