Surveillance state in progress
November 8, 2007 9:46 AM Subscribe
In 2006, the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a class-action lawsuit against AT&T for cooperating with an NSA wiretapping program that created a "black room" in their San Fransisco office, which operated hardware that captured the entire stream of data travelling through AT&T's system (allegedly 2.5 gigabits of data/second). The details of this arrangement were revealed by Mark Klein, a 22-year employee with AT&T who stumbled across documents detailing the program in 2004. The lawsuit, which alleges that AT&T illegally cooperated with the NSA's domestic spying program, is facing a major hurdle in the Senate right now as Senators have reached a tentative agreement to give the company legal immunity from actions relating to their cooperation. This story previously on MeFi.
Note that according to Mr. Klein in the interview, no other telecom companies approached by the NSA complied with this request, citing concerns over the legality of the program. Says Mr. Klein: "If they've done something massively illegal and unconstitutional -- well, they should suffer the consequences. It's not my place to feel bad for them. They made their bed, they have to lie in it." I rather agree.

The problem isn't immunity so much as: Are they still doing this stuff?

I just realized I made an error in the post- Mr. Klein says he became aware of the arrangement in 2002 (not 2004 as in the OP), but that he didn't go public with the information until he retired in 2004.

So if every telecom other than AT&T refused to participate due to legal concerns, could AT&T get away with arguing good faith?
Hahahaha. I crack myself up. Of course they can. Welcome to the Kleptocratic States of America.

Democratic leaders put off that vote because of a competing measure from Republicans that on its face asked lawmakers to declare where they stood on stopping Osama bin Laden from attacking the United States again.

Anyone who votes to give immunity should be jailed as accomplices after the fact.

I've heard it claimed that even if retroactive immunity passes, it itself is still unconstitutional.
Well, ex post facto laws are unconstitutional under Article I, Section 9. If it's unconstitutional to make something illegal when it used to be legal, than it seems to me like it should also be unconstitutional to make something legal when it used to be illegal. That's probably too sensible to be how the law actually works, though.
This is really cramping my jones for an iPhone.

Can't believe they're gonna cave on this.
Indeed, Republican leaders immediately praised their ability to block the N.S.A. measure as a sign of the Democrats’ weakness on that issue. Representative Heather A. Wilson, Republican of New Mexico, said Speaker Nancy Pelosi “underestimated the intelligence of the American people and the bipartisan majority in the Congress to understand what matters most: preventing another terrorist attack.”
What a bunch of BS. The Republicans have a lot of Democrats convinced of this, but they're wrong. That's not at all the first priority on voters' minds, as even the most rudimentary polling will reveal. I mean, if you're going to pander, at least know your audience. I'd hazard a guess that standing up to the Republicans' attempts to roll over civil liberties would garner more votes and would help cement the Democrats' image as a party of change. Right now their image is "I'll roll over if you push hard enough."

What is important to any discussion on this issue is to recognize that NSA has always had the right to monitor electronic stuff going out of the country and coming into the country. Now, with this latest development, they are monitoring domestically too. This had not previously been allowed. The Bush "answer" is that only suspected bad people were being monitored but the whistle blower stated that the ATT opeartion swept up all communications into their data base. Another lie. Sad that the whistle guy said he was aware of this but did not want to lose his job so waited till retirement to speak up. But then, congress then and is the case now seemingly goes along with this massive new invasion upon American privacy.

But only the non-American side, right? I thought that was what the original story was: They were found to be listening to both sides of international calls. Then it turned out they were also listening to purely domestic calls.
The Bush "answer" is that only suspected bad people were being monitored but the whistle blower stated that the ATT opeartion swept up all communications into their data base.
Just to make the scare quotes explicit, even if this were true it would still be illegal, not to mention wrong. "Suspected" is subjective--you still need oversight from a judge.

some of the extra-creepy facts in this case:
-this spying has been going on since JANUARY of 2001...right after bush took office, and well before sept. 11th
-yes, it's still going on.
-at&t OWNS these lines...the other carriers (i.e. sprint, etc) have to RENT them from at&t. even if these other carriers refused to comply, communications through them are still being monitored.
things you can do:
-cancel your at&t service. return your phone. (yes, even your iphone)(...or unlock it and use a different carrier...you have the RIGHT to do this...dont let anyone tell you differently) demand a FULL REFUND for all service dating back to jan. 2001. you probably won't get one, but you can sure waste a lot of their expensive time in the process. call back repeatedly. it's FUN!
-call your senator. make it absolutely clear that failure to vote a strong 'no' on this immunity will result in your not only never voting for them again, but ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNING against them.
-pay phone recievers can be easily removed with wire cutters.
-many graffiti cases have been overturned on first amendment grounds.
-in the words of edna mode: "FIGHT! WIN!!"

I find the death penalty abhorrent, and the idea that rape is considered by so many as part of the punitive process turns my stomach. Despite that, I want nothing more than to see the servers and routers used to desecrate everything America stood for melted down into objects that can conceivably fit into orifices, studded with razor sharp shards of silicon from the processors, and bolted on to some sort of rape machine to be turned loose on every corporate suit who signed off on this treason to the people.

Nixon was nearly impeached for abusing the office of the president. The FISA laws were put in place specifically in reaction to some of Nixon's abuses. Bush broke those laws, and lied about them. Bush should be impeached, really. If we aren't going to impeach a president for breaking laws that were explicitly enacted to prevent a previous president's impeachable conduct, when are we ever going to?
I know, I knew, next time a Democratic president gets a blowjob.
I was a little wigged out that we had a super-secret court that could authorize wiretapping after the fact, but that wasn't good enough for Bush.

kirkaracha Well, ex post facto laws are unconstitutional under Article I, Section 9. If it's unconstitutional to make something illegal when it used to be legal, than it seems to me like it should also be unconstitutional to make something legal when it used to be illegal.
Not exactly. People are (in principle) only prosecuted and punished for doing things that are illegal. There is an expectation, at least in democracies, that the legality or illegality of things ought to be based on (at least somewhat) sound reasoning. So, if the argument is made and accepted that doing something currently illegal ought to be legal now, then it raises the question as to whether, when it was illegal, the same argument applied. That is, if it's OK now, why wasn't it OK then? Why shouldn't people prosecuted for doing it then, be let go now?
Making something illegal retrospectively is considered bad because it opens a person to prosecution without fair warning. Conversely, the defendant does not suffer if something is retrospectively made legal; nobody needs fair warning to not be prosecuted. Actions of the state that make a person's life more difficult should be done only under justifiable circumstances, but making a person's life less difficult isn't considered to need the same constraints.
If the action to be legalized (or illegalized) can be seen as something that has victims, and that is certainly the case here, the question of whether it should be done becomes more complex. It's even more complicated if the actions in question could raise civil suits, rather than just being criminally prosecuted or not.
