Reasonablib discovered 20 months ago- National Security Agency's Domestic Spy Program The Attorney General said that the Bush administration will reverse its stance on domestic spying and instead seek court approval for wiretaps and other surveillance measures. But, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (currently suing Bush Admin.) said that they can't be sure what the Bush administration is doing because the government and telecommunications providers refuse to sure the vital information citing national security reasons. Shareholders have begun a campaign to demand that AT&T explain its involvement. "AT&T has now asked for permission to exclude the [Spy] resolution from its proxy statement, claiming it would interfere with business and the company should not have to divulge information because of state secrets privileges..." INFO: "The EFF is involved in one of dozens of class action lawsuits alleging that Bush doesn't have authority to authorize spying on Americans without approval from the secret court that issues warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."

- From the page:
"Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said on Wednesday that the Bush administration will reverse its stance on domestic spying and instead seek court approval for wiretaps and other surveillance measures. Details of the approval haven't been released. U.S. leaders are citing security reasons for not providing information about standards for deciding whether to investigate someone -- then or now."
"Security reasons" - the ultimate cover-up excuse. - From the page:
