Verizon denies giving phone records to the government without a court order

The saga continues. I blogged about the USA Today allegations before. If true these are reprehensible and illegal. Engadget now comments on reports that Verizon denies the charges in a lawsuit on this issue. The comments on the Engadget page are interesting too.

When will my phone and cell company (Bell South/Cingular) come out and deny the charges? Are they implicitly saying they did do it? Or are the deniers also lying? Shades of Orwell's 1984.

Addendum: The ACLU is circulating a petition to AT&T, Verizon and Bell South to stop invading our privacy without a court order. I signed. You should too.
