AND as predicted where is this coverage in the MSM? It's 10:00am EDT and I can't find this anywhere on <a class="user" href="http://news.yahoo.com">http://news.yahoo.com</a> . You tell me the Media isn't controlled by the Korporate Klowns? I guess America can no longer "afford" the constitution, since the current goverment has literally bankrupted the country. Bush is guilty of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, along with most of his crony administration. The democratic and republican leadership is just as guilty for allowing this to continue. YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! This is no longer a conservative/liberal issue, it's an issue of survival of the basic tenets upon which this country was founded.

In my opinion, it's bad enough that telcos aided the government in this illegal activity, but that taxpayer money was paid to those very telcos for their participation in this crime, make it even worse. They were not being "patriotic" (however they might ill-define the term,) they were illegally whoring their assets.

@ sigtau66Well said. Reminds me of a speech by Ron Silver's character on the West Wing: "I am tired of working for candidates who make me think I should be embarassed to believe what I believe. We all need some therapy, because somebody came along and said Liberal means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on communism, soft on defense, and we’re going to tax you back to the stone age because people shouldn’t have to go to work if they don’t want to." And instead of saying, “Excuse me, you right wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun, Leave It To Beaver-trip back to the ’50s,” we cowered in the corner and said, “Please don’t hurt me.” No more. I really don’t care who’s right, who’s wrong. We’re both right, we’re both wrong. Let’s have two parties.”

Hey all, get in there and show this guy some respect on the "Digg the Candidates" page. He's in LAST place among the Dems! He just did a major service to this country by standing up when others failed to do so. On a similar note, Kucinich with the Impeachment votes, Paul for always voting against unconstitutional bills, Gravel for standing up for the constitution, and others who have made strides in these tough times. Let them hear you. Digg them up!
