But its not monitoring. not in the sense of the previous story. They aren't listening in on everyones phone calls. The have a list of numbers thats it. A list of numbers that are private property of the telecom companies. A list of numbers they are legally required to turn over if the government asks. If you don't want them to know who you call, use a payphone or disposable cell. Thats probably what alqaeda does anyway, so I don't know how much info theyd really glean from this anyway.
