Open thread - NBC video is now online - CBS video now up as well

I am so off to bed. Man what a week.

The NBC Nightly News piece about cell phone records being for sale is now online. You can view it here, but you need Internet Explorer to view it (I don't know why).

And here's CBS News' piece as well from tonight, you can use any browser for this one I think.

More weirdness is going on with this cell phone story. There are a lot of unanswered questions worth much further investigation, such as why this problem hasn't been addressed even though congress and the executive branch and the phone companies have known about it for at least six months. Does someone in power want this ability to get phone records easily, or this company, to stay around for a while, and if so, why? How does this company get your phone records? Seems a bit too slick and detailed for the info to come from a simple phone call to the cell company by someone pretending to be you - what, they read you a hundred phone numbers during a phone call? Doubtful.

This story smells. I think we need a blogswarm of folks investigating just what is going on here. More to come.
