It's not just AT&T. All the big telecoms are secretly "cooperating" with the NSA. Have been for some time. There was a pretty good article in The Atlantic about this: Big Brother Is Listening http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200604/nsa-surveillance Unfortunately you'll need to be a subscriber to read the entire article on-line.
