AT&T Seeks to Hide Spy Docs

UltimaGuy writes to mention a Wired article about some AT&T documents that have gone off the farm. An ex-employee provided some information to the EFF, to assist in their wiretapping case against the company. Ma Bell is now arguing the files are confidential, and shouldn't be used in a court case. From the article: "The documents, which the EFF filed under a temporary seal last Wednesday, purportedly detail how AT&T diverts internet traffic to the National Security Agency via a secret room in San Francisco and allege that such rooms exist in other AT&T switching centers."

Actually the death of America may predate 9/11/2001. You should read MajestyTwelve sometime, which predates 09/11/2001 by four years. I used to read that stuff as a lark (I got into it after George H.W. Bush referred to the "new world order" and "thousand points of light"), but when the WTC attack happened I remembered reading about using the middle east to squash liberties here in America in a massive power grab in that "wacko conspiracy theory" and thought "Hmmm" - searched for it and re-read it. Strange.

A lot of it comes across as kooky (especially the extraterrestial bullshit), but truth is becoming stranger than fiction here, especially where limiting of the first, fourth, and second amendment "inalienable" rights is supposed to be somehow guaranteeing our freedom.

They are pissed off at us because of our actions, not because of our values or religeon.

Yeah, you just keep buying that bullshit.
