Spy Agency Sought U.S. Call Records Before 9/11, Lawyers Say
By Andrew Harris - June 30, 2006 18:46 EDT
June 30 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. National Security Agency asked AT&T Inc. to help it set up a domestic call monitoring site seven months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, lawyers claimed June 23 in court papers filed in New York federal court.
The allegation is part of a court filing adding AT&T, the nation's largest telephone company, as a defendant in a breach of privacy case filed earlier this month on behalf of Verizon Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp. customers. The suit alleges that the three carriers, the NSA and President George W. Bush violated the Telecommunications Act of 1934 and the U.S. Constitution, and seeks money damages.

Are you calling other DU posters, "Firebaggers and Naderites?" Is this whining?

What massive corruption? And part of why he went to jail was for almost destroying a company?
