This is the public, redacted filing. (I haven't read it yet.) Lee WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government filed a motion on Saturdayto intervene and seek dismissal of a lawsuit by a civil liberties group
against AT&T Inc. over a federal program to monitor U.S. communications. The suit filed in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California accuses AT&T of unlawful collaboration with the National Security Agency in its surveillance program to intercept telephone ande-mail communications between the United States and people linked to al
Qaeda and affiliated organizations. The class-action suit was filed by San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation on behalf of AT&T customers in January -- beforereports this week that AT&T and two other phone companies were secretly
