Wikileaks Publishes FBI VoIP Surveillance Docs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the watching-the-watchers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The folks on wikileaks have published a new interesting and shocking report: FBI Electronic Surveillance Needs for Carrier-Grade Voice over Packet (CGVoP) Service. The 88 paged document, which is part of the CALEA Implementation Plan was published in January 2003 and describes in detail all needs for surveillance of phone calls made via data services like the internet. Wikileaks has not published any analysis yet, so maybe some of the techies hanging around this end of the internet are interested in taking that one on."

    Recording police interrogations is a manifestly good thing. It ensures, among other things, that the police can't simply beat you until you confess.

    Surveillance of public servants and surveillance of the general populace aren't even remotely similar.

    It's frightening that you think leaking information "about legal and non-controversial wire taps" is "borderline treason". If this really is as boring as you think, then why would millions need to be spent to undo any damage, why would the US gov start legal action, and why would there need to be an internal investigation?
