The news media have carried reports alleging that AT&T is participating in an unlawful NSA terrorist surveillance program. Unfortunately, the law does not permit AT&T to respond to those allegations.
The U.S. Department of Justice has stated that AT&T may neither confirm nor deny AT&T's participation in the alleged NSA program because doing so would cause "exceptionally grave harm to national security" and would violate both civil and criminal statutes. Under these circumstances, AT&T is not able to respond to such allegations.

AT&T Statement on NSA Issue
Shorter AT&T: Hell yes we are spying on you, but don't blame us, the gubmint forced us! Really shorter AT&T: We like our monopoly and the NSA blackmailed us. I bet the NSA was pretty pissed with this. AT&T must want to be sued to clarify the issue. Bad news doesn't get better with age, you know. We're betting the lawyer(s) who wrote this sweat a little more than usual at the blow back..
