In a gutsy move, Wired News has published, uncut, Mark Klein's evidence which has been filed in U.S. Federal Court, and which has also been sealed as a result of a motion filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Evan Hansen writes on Wired News: [snip] A file detailing aspects of AT&T's alleged participation in the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic wiretap operation is sitting in a San Francisco courthouse. But the public cannot see it because, at AT&T's insistence, it remains under seal in court records. The judge in the case has so far denied requests from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF, and several news organizations to unseal the documents and make them public. AT&T claims information in the file is proprietary and that it would suffer severe harm if it were released. Based on what we've seen, Wired News disagrees. In addition, we believe the public's right to know the full facts in this case outweighs AT&T's claims to secrecy.
