The US government wants to intervene to request dismissal of EFF's lawsuit against AT&T -- the one alleging that it violated federal law by permitting warrantless wiretapping.
http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004612.php One wonders what sort of state secret could still be secret here now that the basics of the story have been revealed. Everyone knows that if they're tapping phones they have to be doing it *somewhere*. The most interesting thing, though, is the intervention itself, which implies that EFF is right and AT&T *was* allowing the NSA to put in equipment wherever it liked. The New York Times is also covering the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/29/us/29nsa.html Though sadly that link will stop working soon as part of the New York Times's effort to lose market share. -- Perry E.
