Feds claim privilege in attempt to dismiss EFF domestic wiretap suit

Ryan Singel, co-editor of Wired's new 27BStroke6 blog, says:

The Federal Government stepped in today and told a federal judge that national security secrets are at stake in the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) lawsuit that alleges AT&T helped the government spy on citizens without warrants.

The government wants the suit dismissed, but does not admit that AT&T did indeed build secret spying rooms.
