EFF Sues AT&T Over NSA Wiretapping
Omega1045 writes "Cory Doctorow over at BoingBoing is reporting that the Electronic Frontier Foundation has just filed a lawsuit against AT&T for helping the National Security Agency execute illegal warrant-less wiretaps against American citizens.
From the article: 'The lawsuits alleges that AT&T Corp. has opened its key telecommunications facilities and databases to direct access by the NSA and/or other government agencies, thereby disclosing to the government the contents of its customers' communications as well as detailed communications records about millions of its customers, including the lawsuit's class members.'"

"What'd they say?"
"Said they're gonna sue AT&T."
"Why?"
"Dunno, probably because AT&T let's us wiretap illegally."
"What're they saying now?"
"Something about their line is probably even now being bugged."
"Harsh!"

OMG!
Maybe they haven't yet perfected undersea cable interception.
Where are those laser guided sharks when you need them?
Aren't you supposed to be preparing for your speech tonight?

Why, because the current President of the United States says so, and it's not like he's every got anything wrong before.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Just like a citizen who is not guilty of any crimes should welcome the friendly government agent asking for his papers, if AT&T is innocent they should welcome this. If they have not been breaking laws by complying with the NSA, then they have nothing to fear. Should AT&T attempt to fight this, it must be because they are definitely guilty of violating laws.
Just say "I'm a sex bomb". Your call will be recorded -> keyword match. Then you can pass any message you want to the governement, at least someone will be listening.

NSA>EFF
FU AT&T
Like what, sport? Smoke signals? Wooo, the terrorists KNOW that US Signals Intelligence is trying to listen in on their phone calls/email/faxes and any other form of electronic communications they can get their 40 foot dishes on! Oh Noes!!1!ONE1!ELEVENTY1!
Do the words "No shit Sherlock" hold any meaning for you? Any terrorist that didn't already know this was already killed or captured long before 9/11 or any other major event. It's just common sense. Terrorist darwinism. If you are too f'in stupid to stego-encrypt your plans to blow up the White House in an apparent P3N15 enlargement spam, you were a dead terrorist already. The ones that aren't dead are the ones that know better. Either that, or you're saying the good men and women of our nation's intelligence agencies are incredibly stupid, endangering American lives with negligent job performance, and deserve to be fired.
Wait a minute... that's exactly what you're saying... That's it isn't asshole? You're talking shit about our CIA/DIA/FBI/KGB/SIGINT/STASI/NSA/NRO/DHS, aren't you, you mother fucking unpatriotic piece of horse shit!!! You're saying there are terrorist sending plain text email that haven't been captured! You mother fucker... Call in the jack boots and kick itsdave's ass. You're with us or against us you unpatriotic towel head son of a bitch. What's it gonna be 'dave' or should I say Akmed?!?!
... there, now you know how stupid you sound to the rest of the free world.
