Sen. Franken petitions AT&T, HTC, others for Carrier IQ info:
Minnesota Senator Al Franken has sent letters to several more companies involved in the Carrier IQ scandal, reports say. Franken is in charge of a Senate privacy panel, and has issued new requests to AT&T, HTC, Samsung, and Sprint, in addition to one sent earlier to Carrier IQ itself. The new parties are being asked to explain how they’re using the Carrier IQ technology, and what data they’re gathering through it.

Sen. Franken is not the guy you want asking hard questions. It’s going to be a circus of scandal, finger pointing, the works.
