EFF Sues Bush, Cheney Over Warrantless Wiretaps

By Chloe Albanesius, PC Magazine

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a California-based privacy group, filed a lawsuit against the National Security Agency (NSA), President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and several other administration officials on behalf of AT&T customers in an effort to stop the government's warrantless wiretapping program.

The lawsuit "is aimed at ending the NSA's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and holding accountable the government officials who illegally authorized it," according to a statement from EFF.
