Wired Releases Full Text of AT&T NSA Document

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-full-monty-of-information dept.

ifitzgerald writes "This morning, Wired News released the full text of the AT&T NSA wiretap documents that are currently under court seal. From the article: 'AT&T claims information in the file is proprietary and that it would suffer severe harm if it were released. Based on what we've seen, Wired News disagrees. In addition, we believe the public's right to know the full facts in this case outweighs AT&T's claims to secrecy. As a result, we are publishing the complete text of a set of documents from the EFF's primary witness in the case, former AT&T employee and whistle-blower Mark Klein -- information obtained by investigative reporter Ryan Singel through an anonymous source close to the litigation. The documents, available on Wired News as of Monday, consist of 30 pages, with an affidavit attributed to Klein, eight pages of AT&T documents marked "proprietary," and several pages of news clippings and other public information related to government-surveillance issues.'"

    How sad that you have to troll for karma like this

    "Expecting the neo-con mod down in 3..2..1"

    or this

    "Expecting the conservative mod down in 3..2..1"

    Examples?

  3. Most corrupt government the U.S. has had. by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Publicity is the public's last defense against the most corrupt government the U.S. has had in modern times, and probably ever.

    For an early article about U.S. government conflict of interest, see Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government. The corruption has increased enormously since then.
