Former Telecom Tech Alleges Domestic Data Surveillance

Follow up to previous postings on the domestic surveillance program and AT&T’s alleged participation, today’s article in the Washington Post, A Story of Surveillance – Former Technician ‘Turning In’ AT&T Over NSA Program, by Ellen Nakashima: “…Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician…alleged that the NSA set up a system that vacuumed up Internet and phone-call data from ordinary Americans with the cooperation of AT&T. Contrary to the government’s depiction of its surveillance program as aimed at overseas terrorists, Klein said, much of the data sent through AT&T to the NSA was purely domestic.”
