"FCC refuses to investigate NSA collection of phone records

WASHINGTON—The Federal Communications Commission said it will not investigate whether telephone companies violated consumer-privacy laws by reportedly releasing millions of phone records to a U.S. spy agency.

In a letter released Tuesday, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said an inability to obtain classified material would prevent the agency from looking into a newspaper report that AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp. handed over call records to the National Security Agency."

:lamo This is so sad that it's just funny. Is it that they can not invesigate or that they won't investigate? Remind me of who Kevin martin is again? Something tells me someone very close to the bush administration. For shame.
 
Whew, what a relief. I was starting to fear that the quashing of dissidence wasn’t incipient enough.
