Joseph P. Nacchio, former CEO of Qwest Communications International, reported that his firm was approached more than six months before the September 11, 2001, attacks and asked to participate in a spying operation that Qwest believed to be illegal.
The essential hardware elements of a (Total Information Awareness)-type spy program are being surreptitiously slipped into 'real world' telecommunications offices.
There may be dozens of surveillance rooms in AT&T offices around the country.
The internet surveillance program covers domestic traffic, not just international traffic.
The system is capable of looking at content, not just addresses. The Narus software exists primarily to conduct sophisticated rule-based analysis of content.
Transit traffic originating with one ISP and destined for another is also being sniffed if it crosses AT&T's network. Ironically, because the taps are installed at the point at which that network connects to the rest of the world, the safest web surfers are AT&T subscribers visiting websites hosted on AT&T's network. Their traffic doesn't pass through the splitters.

Keith Olbermann on his Countdown program (2-14-8 ) said that all of the nasty pictures--all of the Internet sites---all of the emails---
EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE
THAT YOU HAVE EVER VISITED ON YOUR COMPUTER
HAS BEEN MONITORED
IN Room 641A.
YOU HAVE BEEN SLEEPING
WITH THE ENEMY!
George W. Bush
HAS BEEN MORE THAN JUST
THE DECIDER
THE DIVIDER
THE DECEIVER
AND
THE TORTURER
(and not just a torturer of the English language)...
The LONG WAR PRESIDENT
HAS ALSO BEEN
THE SNOOPER!
[NOTE: It appears that President Obama has continued the same SURVEILLANCE practices.]
IT'S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
