To Stop Telecom Spying Immunity By Ryan Singel November 07, 2007 | 8:20:04 PM “The Senate Judiciary plans Thursday to mark-up a measure passed by the secretive Senate Intelligence Committee would let telecoms like AT&T and Verizon escape the bevy of lawsuits accusing them of massively violating Americans’ privacy, so long as the attorney general writes a letter to the judge saying that the government told the companies that the president thought he had Constitutional authority to evade the nation’s privacy laws.” Mark Klein .. “I’ve called and sent letters to senators and Congress members. They haven’t called back. I don’t think they want to pursue it. They want to talk about this behind closed doors. These days I am angry at Congress for helping them keep it secret. They could hold hearings and subpoena people and give them immunity. Right now there are people who could come forward and say what they know, but they need immunity. That’s the bottleneck. I don’t see a resolution coming from this Congress. It’s a conspiracy against the American people.” http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/11/att-whistle-blo.html AT&T Wiretap Whistleblower Fights Senate Deal All Things Considered, November 7, 2007 • In 2002, Mark Klein, a former technician for AT&T, came forward with information that the company was collecting data for the National Security Agency. His testimony was central to several class-action lawsuits against AT&T for its alleged wiretapping. Klein is now in Washington, D.C., to speak out against a possible Senate deal that would grant immunity to AT&T and the other telecoms for their role in NSA surveillance — effectively nullifying those lawsuits. Robert Siegel talks with Klein. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16088947 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.isoc-ny.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
