Government Moves to Intervene in AT&T Surveillance Case

Well, you can’t say that you didn’t see this one coming. The Department of Justice will be invoking the Military and State Secrets priviledge in the EFF vs. AT&T lawsuit. They are also asking for a dismissal os the lawsuit which involves the use of Narus technology to eavesdrop on Americans.

The United States government filed a “Statement of Interest” Friday in the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s (EFF’s) class-action lawsuit against AT&T, announcing that the government would “assert the military and state secrets privilege” and “intervene to seek dismissal” of the case.

Lift a rock and watch the roaches run.
