JUSTICE SUES JERSEY TO KEEP TELCOS QUIET
[SOURCE: Reuters]
The Department of Justice has sued the New Jersey Attorney General's office on grounds of security concerns to prevent it from asking telephone companies if they gave customer call records to the National Security Agency. DoJ wants to stop the disclosure of confidential and sensitive information, according to the lawsuit filed on Wednesday, a day before phone companies were due to reply to subpoenas issued by the New Jersey attorney general.
