A former mayor of Salt Lake City has sued the National Security Agency over what he calls a mass warrantless surveillance program monitoring texts, emails and phone calls during the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Attorney Rocky Anderson claims that the agency worked with the FBI to intercept and analyze all communications in the Salt Lake City area before and during the games, which were held less than six months after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

"I was outraged by this," Anderson said Wednesday. "Fundamentally, we want to get to the truth and expose what our government is doing."

The NSA did not immediately return messages seeking comment, and a spokesman for the FBI in Salt Lake City declined to comment.
