Bob Cefail on the wiretapping of American citizens

Here's what the buzz today is about followed by my comments.

From wired magazine;

"A federal judge rebuffed an effort by media organizations, ranging from the Associated Press to Wired News, to unseal whistleblower documents in a civil rights group's case against AT&T for allegedly helping the government's warrantless wiretapping of Americans.

Those documents include technical diagrams provided to the Electronic Frontier Foundation in January 2005 by former AT&T engineer Mark Klein, a written declaration by Klein, and an evaluation of the documents by former FCC employee J. Scott Marcus."

There is a lot more on the actual page here http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/02/spy_docs_stay_s.html

I left my comments there, but in short, it is time for judges, especially federal judges to start standing up to the Bush administrations heavy handed tactics in citing "national security" to justify many things that have never been considered "American" True American values are the preservation of liberty, and pushing for an open, honest, and above all, ACCOUNTABLE government
