The Bells are telling the truth; NSA didn't get the records from the Bells, but through "other means" (can you say "Carnivore"?...I knew you could....). The statement (or, nmore accurately, implication) that they got it from the Bells is disinformation to keep knowledge of these "other means" away from the vast unwashed. jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06

Post #255,900 by jb4 5/18/06 2:29:04 PM Reply	Not supposed to be... These were records supposed handed over by the Bells' own free will, simply for the asking. Carnivore, as I understand it, Is supposed to gather (at least) this same info without the knowledge or consent of the Bells (or anybody else, for that matter). jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing.

Literally Racks and Racks and Racks of machines sitting there scanning all traffic from AT&T. Did you ever wonder why an Simple Outage in DC can have a huge effect across the WHOLE eastern Seaboard. It even did knock out my connectivity. No, this isn't the information you are looking for.
