Why the close collaboration between NSA & AT&T matters

[Shelley]

These recently released documents could give new life to Jewel v NSA.  For 
years, James "I lie to Congress and get away with it" Clapper and his ilk 
have tried to make the EFF look like the lunatic fringe for backing the 
claims made in Mark Klein's testimony.  The feds have managed to quash 
almost every investigation into their warrantless wiretapping under the 
tired guise of endangering national security, often with no substantive 
evidence; just the claim alone is enough to scare off most jurists.

The EFF will be submitting these documents in support of Jewel v NSA.
