AT&T dealt court blow

AP is reporting that the judge has denied AT&T's motion to have its documents returned.

(AP) SAN FRANCISCO Secret documents that allegedly detail the surveillance of AT&T phone lines under the Bush administration's domestic spying program can be used in a lawsuit against the telephone giant, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, but the records will remain sealed.

The docs will remain under seal until the judge can decide whether they would expose trade secrets.

The judge had earlier blocked a motion from AT&T to seal the courtroom during this morning's hearings.
