AT&T asks judge to order documents alleging wiretaps returned

Attorneys for AT&T have asked a federal judge to order a San Francisco civil liberties group to return 'highly confidential'' documents that allegedly show that the telecommunications giant provided detailed records of millions of its customers to a government intelligence agency. In documents filed on Monday, AT&T's attorneys also asked Judge Vaughn Walker to order the Electronic Frontier Foundation to refrain from referencing the documents in its lawsuit.

AT&T: "Excuse me judge"
Judge: "Yes?"
AT&T: "Yes, hi. Can we ask a big favor of you?"
Judge: "Maybe."
AT&T: "May we please have all those "highly confidential'' documents that we don't know anything about showing how we were involved with government surveillance back?"
Judge: "?????"
