Phone Records Lawsuit against AT&T Dismissed
U.S. District Judge Matthew F. Kennelly has dismissed the lawsuit against AT&T aimed at blocking the company from giving telephone records to the government for use in the war on terror.
Kennelly ruled in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois on behalf of author Studs Terkel and other activists who said their constitutional rights were violated because of a National Security Agency program of gathering phone company records.
Justice Department attorneys had argued it that would violate the law against divulging state secrets for AT&T to say whether it had provided telephone records to the supersecret spy agency.
