Republican politicians in the U.S. House of Representatives are looking to force a vote (http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9927141-7.html?tag=nefd.top) on a Senate bill passed last February that would give AT&T, Verizon and Sprint legal immunity from their participation in the Bush Administration's warrantless wiretap program. Immunity would scrap dozens of legal cases against AT&T and Verizon, most notably that of 22-year AT&T employee turned whistleblower Mark Klein (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/89223), who discovered AT&T was handing over all voice and data traffic (from multiple providers) directly to the NSA without any judicial oversight whatsoever.
