Public

May 17, 2006 2 a.m. - just hours before the EFF and AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein's first hearing on their lawsuit vs AT&T for helping the NSA run a massive internet spying operation

Klein's evidence was under seal. Only a few had seen it. The NYT & LA Times were too scared to publish.

I had gotten a hold of them. Just a freelancer. Wired under EIC Evan Hansen agreed to publish everything.

2 a.m., we published.

Room 641a was public.

AT&T's lawyers death stares were glorious.

RIP Mark Klein
