 As Reuters reports, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin has declined to look into allegations that telecommunications companies colluded with the NSA to collect information on American citizens in conjunction with warrantless wiretapping. Martin cites "national security concerns." EXCERPTS: # The reports have prompted scrutiny by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Democratic Rep. Edward Markey, the chairman of a key Energy and Commerce subcommittee, asked Martin to investigate. In his response, Martin included Tuesday's letter from McConnell. A spokesman for the FCC declined further comment. Markey, of Massachusetts, said McConnell's stance was "unsurprising given that this administration has continually thwarted efforts by Congress to shed more light on the surveillance program."
