The AT&T Whistleblower's Evidence

hdtv writes "Wired News has published the details of NSA wiretap and revealed former AT&T technician Mark Klein as the main whistleblower, specifically covering the evidence he presented when he came forward." From the article: "In this recently surfaced statement, Klein details his discovery of an alleged surveillance operation in an AT&T office in San Francisco, and offers his interpretation of company documents that he believes support his case. For its part, AT&T is asking a federal judge to keep those documents out of court, and to order the EFF to return them to the company."

      From the article:
      A federal judge Wednesday shot down telecom giant AT&T...
      So does that mean AT&T was found dead on the side of the road?

    >When will we see headlines talking about impeachment?

    don't be silly, impeachments are about sex, not abuses of power. Noone is giving the pres a blowjob in the oval office, ergo, no impeachment.

    The NSA doesn't monitor communications businesses for fraud, hacking, etc. That's not their job. Their job is signals/intelligence collection and analysis. A room in a datacenter that's off-limits to everybody but people with NSA security clearences is basically screaming "I'm a massive phone/data tap".

    Not only that, they aren't allowed to gather intelligence on American citizens. Only the fbi can.
