Michael went to hell to berate Satan for some transgression - he came back with a cell phone.

The NSA is having difficulty keeping spying programs hush-hush lately. First, there was the fiasco were President Bush authorized the NSA to wiretap American citizens. Its legality is still being debated. Now, the EFF has filed an injunction against AT&T. EFF claims "AT&T is diverting Internet traffic into the hands of the NSA wholesale" which is a violation of wiretapping laws and our Fourth Amendment rights. The goverment may get involved in the lawsuit, as many of the documents the EFF wants to be disclosed may contain confidential security information.

AT&T has recently received a boon from our goverment: the monopoly they once held is being returned to them under the pretense that with the advent of the cellular phone and VOIP (voice-over-internet-protocol) they no longer have a monopoly on the telecommunications network. One could almost form a conspiracy theory with such information.

Don't die.
