Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania) vowed to haul the companies before his committee in response to the USA Today report that says the NSA has been secretly using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth to build a massive database of foreign and domestic phone calls.

The effort does not involve recording or eavesdropping on phone conversations, it said.
