Early Saturday morning, in the darkest hours of the night, the Department of Justice made good its threat to file a 
motion to dismiss our class-action lawsuit against AT&T, contending that AT&T's collaboration with the NSA's massive 
and illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans' communications (which violates the law and the privacy of its 
customers)--despite being front page news throughout the United States and the subject of government press conferences 
and Congressional hearings--is a state secret.

The motion was accompanied by declarations by Lieutenant General Keith B. Alexander, Director, National Security Agency 
and John D. Negroponte, Director of National Intelligence. We will vigorously oppose this motion. Donate to EFF and 
help stop the illegal spying!

Industrial sized balls, they've certainly got 'em.
