Former AT&T technician Mark Klein is the key witness in the Electronic Frontier Foundation's class-action lawsuit against the company, which alleges that AT&T illegally cooperated in an illegal National Security Agency domestic-surveillance program.
In this recently surfaced statement, Klein details his discovery of an alleged surveillance operation in an AT&T office in San Francisco, and offers his interpretation of company documents that he believes support his case.For its part, AT&T is asking a federal judge to keep those documents out of court, and to order the EFF to return them to the company. Here Wired News presents Klein's statement in its entirety, along with select pages from the AT&T documents.

When former AT&T technician Mark Klein learned of a secret room
installed in the company's San Francisco internet switching center, he
was certain he had stumbled onto the Total Information Awareness
program, a Defense Department research project that intended to scour
databases across the country for telltale signs of terrorists.
Though the program had mostly been terminated by Congress in September 2003, portions of the program were allowed to continue.
Klein believed he had found these remnants, according to a written
statement by Klein acquired by Wired News. AT&T built the secret
room in 2003 and wired it up to receive a copy of the internet traffic
running through its fiber-optic network, according to Klein's statement
and accompanying documents. Inside the room, AT&T had installed
routers, Sun Microsystems servers and traffic-analysis software from a
company called Narus.

"It's time for you to get some new cell phones, quick," the source told us in an in-person conversation.
ABC News does not know how the government determined who we are calling, or whether our phone records were provided to the government as part of the recently-disclosed NSA collection of domestic phone calls.

But, in a 30-minute phone conversation, President George W Bush is said to have assured him that the move did not mean a militarisation of the border.
Mr Bush is due to announce the plans in a speech on Monday as part of an effort to help curb illegal immigration.
There are an estimated 11.5 million illegal immigrants in the US, about half of them of Mexican origin.
The Bush administration has insisted that Mexico is still regarded as a friendly country.
According to a statement released by Mr Fox's office, Mr Bush had said officials were "analysing the administrative and logistical support of part of the National Guard, not the Army, to help police on the border".
