Senate Mulls Immunity for Telecoms
Senators are struggling with whether phone companies should be let off the hook if they allow the National Security Agency to tap customers' phone calls and e-mails without a court warrant.
Whistleblower Mark Klein, a retired AT&T technician, describes a secret room at an AT&T facility in San Francisco entirely controlled by the NSA. He says it gives the NSA wholesale access to all Internet communications coming through.
Klein is in Washington lobbying against a proposal to grant immunity to telecom companies facing lawsuits over eavesdropping.
