USA Today acknowledged in a “note to our readers” Friday that it could not establish that BellSouth or Verizon contracted with the National Security Agency to provide it with customer calling records, as it previously reported.
Based on its reporting after the May 11 article, USA TODAY has now concluded that while the NSA has built a domestic calls record database involving the domestic call records of telecommunications companies, the newspaper cannot confirm that BellSouth or Verizon contracted with the NSA to provide bulk calling records to that database.
