US Justice Department secretly seizes Associated Press phone records - Telegraph: "In what was described as "a massive and unprecedented intrusion" into press freedom, the US Justice Department seized details of incoming and outgoing calls on more than 20 phone lines belonging to America's foremost news agency.
Although investigators are not believed to have tapped the phone lines, the information would allow them to trace confidential government sources contacted by reporters.
The government obtained two months worth of records from phones in AP's Washington, New York and Connecticut offices as well as its bureau in the US House of Representatives."
