FACTS: (1) The NSA approached Qwest more than six months before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. (2) The NSA asked AT&T Inc. to help it set up a domestic call monitoring site seven months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Everytime you repeat the lie that domestic spying began "after the Sept. 11th attacks," a data miner in some basement at the NSA gets his wings.
