The is reporting that Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile have not supplied the National Security Agency (NSA) with customer phone records. A Verizon spokesman told AP that his company "was not involved with the situation," while T-Mobile said in a statement that it did not participate "in any NSA program for warrantless surveillance." Yet, AP also said that reps for Cingular and Sprint were less explicit and did not deny turning over customer call records. USA Today first reported Thursday that the NSA had collected telephone records of American citizens.
