Telecom Execs Asked to Explain Cooperation in Wiretaps

Jeffrey Silva writes on RCR Wireless News:

Two powerful Senate Democrats asked executives of three telecom giants with major mobile phone units to turn over information on their alleged participation in the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program.

Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent letters requesting company documents to Edward Witacre, chairman of AT&T Inc., which owns 60 percent of Cinglular Wireless L.L.C.; Gary Forsee, president of Sprint Nextel Corp.; and Ivan Seidenberg, chairman of Verizon Communications Inc., which is the majority owner of Verizon Wireless.
