From EFF's press release:
A judge ordered the government Thursday to release more records about the lobbying campaign to provide immunity to the telecommunications giants that participated in the NSA's warrantless surveillance program. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White ordered the records be provided to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) by October 9, 2009.
Related news from EFF, a new bill was introduced to push this further:Yesterday, four US Senators, led by Senator Chris Dodd, announced plans to introduce "The Retroactive Immunity Repeal Act." That bill, endorsed by EFF, would repeal the retroactive immunity granted by Congress as part of the FISA Amendments Act (FAA) to phone companies that illegally assisted in domestic spying by US intelligence agencies and would revive EFF's recently dismissed lawsuit against AT&T for its collaboration in the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program.
