Media Takes on AT&T in Spy Case

Ryan Singel writes on Wired News:

News organizations will argue Thursday that documents under seal in a high-profile lawsuit against AT&T for its alleged participation in warrantless surveillance of Americans' phone calls and e-mails should be made public.

Wired News -- joined by the San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press, San Jose Mercury News and Bloomberg News -- is seeking documents and statements provided by former AT&T technician Mark Klein about the government spy program. AT&T says the pages contain corporate trade secrets.

At 2 p.m. Thursday, both sides will make oral arguments before U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco.
