NSA Database: 'Every Call Ever Made' Among ILECs only Qwest fought NSA request Thursday May 11 2006 09:04 EDT USA Today reports that the National Security Agency is in possession of billions of records of domestic telephone calls. An unnamed source for the story reports that AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth have turned over records of calls and that is the NSA's goal "to create a database of every call ever made". Of the major local telecom providers, only Qwest declined to cooperate with the NSA, citing "it was uneasy about the legal implications of handing over customer information to the government without warrants." The EFF recently filed suit against AT&T for alleged wholesale delivery of phone and Internet data to the NSA without any judicial oversight. |

If you are not with us you are against us...Privacy is lost to the war on terror.
"To those who scare peace loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: your tactics aid terrorists for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America’s enemies and pause to America’s friends." -- John Ashcroft 7 December 2001
It is really sad that I am more intimidated by my own government than I am by the "terrorist" enemy. IMO all of these freedoms and privacies that we are losing will have little to no effect on terrorism but will have a great negative effect on the American way of life.
Very depressing... | | |
