Can You Hear Me Now?

Pleadings in a breach of privacy case against AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth allege that the Bush Administration was seeking telephone records BEFORE September 11, 2001. Of course, lawyers can plead pretty much anything, but if proven, this would pretty well negate the whole "time of war" justification of domestic spying. Orcinus has a very good compilation of other bloggers detailing how Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Vice President Dick Cheney both repeated the claim that this program was instituted in RESPONSE to 9/11.
