May 17, 2006 2 a.m. - just hours before the EFF and AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein's first hearing on their lawsuit vs AT&T for helping the NSA run a massive internet spying operation
Klein's evidence was under seal. Only a few had seen it. The NYT & LA Times were too scared to publish.
I had gotten a hold of them. Just a freelancer. Wired under EIC Evan Hansen agreed to publish everything.
2 a.m., we published.
Room 641a was public.
AT&T's lawyers death stares were glorious.
RIP Mark Klein
