BELLSOUTH DEMANDS RETRACTION FROM USA TODAY ON NSA ARTICLE
[SOURCE: Wall Street Journal, AUTHOR: Dionne Searcey dionne.searcey@wsj.com and Sarah Ellison]
BellSouth yesterday demanded that USA Today retract "the false and unsubstantiated statements" outlined in an article naming the company as having provided domestic calling records to the National Security Agency. In a letter to USA Today president and publisher Craig Moon, as well as to the general counsel of the newspaper's parent company, Gannett Co., the phone company asks for an immediate retraction of the article's characterization of BellSouth's relationship to the NSA.
