EFF has sued AT&T over its alleged participation in the NSA's surveillance scheme: http://news.com.com/2100-1028_3-6033501.html Complaint: http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/att/att-complaint.pdf BTW I think the ACLU's map (below) is intended to be more fanciful than based on any confirmed participation by U.S. telecom or Internet companies. The closest we've come to actual confirmation was a paragraph buried in the middle of a Los Angeles Times article last month about AT&T, mirrored here and cited in the EFF suit: http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=122448 Am I missing something? -Declan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: New NSA Spying Map and White Paper Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 17:03:56 -0500 From: Barry Steinhardt <bsteinhardt@aclu.org> To: declan@well.com Declan, Politechicals may be interested in a new ACLU white paper and interactive map detailing what is known and suspected about how the NSA's illegal spying on Americans occurs and where the interceptions are likely taking place.. The white paper is entitled "Eavesdropping 101: What Can the NSA Do?" It looks at the probable connections that the NSA has made to the U.S. civilian communications infrastructure. The map shows how the NSA's "surveillance octopus" likely entangles the country. We believe it is the first effort to visually illustrate what is happening. You can find both the white paper and the map at <http://www.aclu.org/safefree/nsaspying/23989res20060131.html>http://www.aclu .org/safefree/nsaspying/23989res20060131.html>http://www.aclu.org/safefree/ns aspying/23989res20060131.html.
