More 'in-group' humor: Agency Won't Investigate N.S.A. on Records May 24, 2006 By REUTERS nytimes.com WASHINGTON, May 23 — The Federal Communications Commission will not pursue complaints about the National Security Agency's access to millions of telephone records because it cannot obtain classified material, the commission's chairman said in a letter released on Tuesday. Representative Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, had asked regulators to investigate a report in USA Today that AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth turned over records of phone calls to the security agency as part of efforts to compile a database to track terrorist activities. "The classified nature of the N.S.A.'s activities makes us unable to investigate the alleged violations," said the commission's chairman, Kevin Martin, a Republican, in the May 22 letter released by Mr. Markey. Verizon and BellSouth have denied turning over the records. BellSouth has demanded that USA Today retract the assertions. Copyright 2006 The New York Times Company ============================================================= Thus far... the Justice Department has said it 'can't investigate' allegations of illegality because it can't receive security clearances... and now the F.C.C. makes the same claim. This is shaping up as one heck of a farce....
