So that leaves, who...? Only AT&T who gave call detail records to
the NSA without a lawful request?

BellSouth Corp., the No. 3 U.S. local telephone carrier, denied Monday that it turned over customer telephone records 
to the National Security Agency (NSA) on a large scale as part of the NSA's call-tracking program to detect terrorist 
plots.

USA Today reported last week that BellSouth, AT&T Inc., and Verizon Communications had turned over tens of millions of 
consumers' telephone records to the NSA so it could analyze call patterns.

BellSouth said in a statement Monday that it did not have a contract with the NSA, which is tasked with eavesdropping 
on foreign communications and protecting U.S. government communications.
