iWon News - Paper Reports NSA Collecting Phone Records

iWon News - Paper Reports NSA Collecting Phone Records: "The government is secretly collecting records of ordinary Americans' phone calls in an effort to build a database of every call made within the country, it was reported Thursday.

AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth telephone companies began turning over records of tens of millions of their customers' phone calls to the National Security Agency program shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, said USA Today, citing anonymous sources it said had direct knowledge of the arrangement."

One big telecommunications company, Qwest, has refused to turn over records to the program, the newspaper said, because of privacy and legal concerns.

I think I might just change to Qwest. Nice to know at least one company respects the tights of Americans. I think everybody who can today should switch to qwest
