WTF Is It Now?!?

"The government wants a judge to dismiss a lawsuit against AT&T about domestic spying. The government contends it would result in revealing military and state secrets. Along with a few prison sentences and maybe an impeachment." - Jim Barach.

NSA has "massive database" of Americans' phone calls
...but "can't find" how many times convicted felon Jack Abramoff visited the Bush White House.

'The government has detailed records of every call they made.' Ummmm, didn't Bush say the illegal wiretapping wasn't a domestic spying program?

The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans - most of whom aren't suspected of any crime - using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth.

"It's the largest database ever assembled in the world," said a source. The agency's goal is "to create a database of every call ever made" within the nation's borders.

"So now they're turning the CIA over to a general who not only ran the warrantless wiretap program but still can’t figure out that it's unconstitutional." - Molly Ivins.

Fun fact: the government has 'abruptly ended an inquiry into the warrantless eavesdropping program because the National Security Agency refused to grant Justice Department lawyers the necessary security clearance to probe the matter,' truthout reports.
