BellSouth, which has been facing immense pressure from customers and Congress following a report in USA Today that 
claimed it provided call records on millions of Americans to the National Security Agency, is now asking for the 
newspaper to retract its story. In a faxed letter, BellSouth said it sought an immediate correction of "unsubstantiated 
statements."

BellSouth and Verizon earlier this week denied sharing any information on domestic calls with the NSA, but refused to 
specify what relationship was in place with the agency. AT&T, meanwhile, stated publicly that it does not share 
customer information without a court order, but did not specifically deny USA Today's claims. USA Today has not yet 
responded to BellSouth's letter.
