Wired reveals the ATT - NSA operations

wired.com

So, after 9/11, NSA asks ATT to allow it to wiretap all data going through its WorldNet backbone. ATT says, sure, and builds a room to split the router data into this room, where computer equipment analyzes it for the NSA. An ATT technician by the name Mark Klein gets worried about all these Orwellian tactics, and rats to EFF. EFF sues ATT. The U.S. government joins the case and invokes State Secrets Privilege, and asks the judge to throw it out. Apparently, the judge (Vaughn Walker) is a libertarian, so it will be interesting to see if he does so, on June 23.

The judge did rule, though that the documents should be kept sealed, against ATT's wishes to suppress it, but also against EFF's wishes to unseal them to the public.

Then, along comes Wired, and publishes the entire document which presumably it obtained separately from Mark Klein. Enjoy!
