EFF Documentation Victory in Telco Spying Case

Posted by Zonk on from the keeping-things-on-the-up-and-up dept.

Krishna Dagli sent on a link to Ars Technica's coverage of an EFF victory in a court case related to the NSA/Telco spying scandal. "Judge Vaughn Walker ruled today that AT&T, Verizon, Cingular (now part of AT&T), Sprint, and BellSouth (also part of AT&T now) must all maintain any data or papers related to the NSA spying case that Walker is overseeing in California. The EFF had requested the ruling out of concern that documents would be destroyed as part of routine data deletion practices before the case could even progress to discovery."

  1. Congress is useless. Why bother. by FatSean · · Score: -1, Troll

    I give it a 5% chance that someone important will be punished, or any kind of law will be passed preventing this abuse by the Executive.

    At least nobody I care about is gonna die for Bush...I guess that's a silver lining. Well that, and the big smirk I get every morning when I find out how much worse things have gone in Iraq. Man, I love watching the failure of ignorant assholes who ignore good advice. Too bad my kids are gonna have to foot the bill, and so many Iraqis had to die.

    Bleh.

    Maybe you should check the news about our failures more often. I hope it doesn't break your heart but things appear to be looking better over there.

      along with various reports of the violence at an all time low since the war seems to say that your not going to be smirking for a while. I'm sorry that our men and women dieing is such a joy for you. But I am gload that your not seeing as much joy now.

Well aren't you just as smug as a bug on a rug. Glad you derive smirk-worthy enjoyment from the Iraq war. I bet it's all just a big reality TV show to you.
