Govt obtains wide AP phone records in probe
http://j.mp/YFu6sT (AP / Denver Post)
The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone
records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the
news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented
intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news. The records
obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls,
and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers
of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York,
Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters
in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys
for the AP.
