Following up on the NSA phone records fiasco, it was interesting to read today that Joe Nacchio, the ex-CEO of Qwest who is currently facing 42 counts of insider trading accusing him of illegally selling $101 million in company stock after privately learning Qwest might not meet its financial goals, was the one who agreed with Qwest lawyers that surrendering "call-detail records" to the NSA was morally wrong and probably an illegal activity. Funny, unlike the CEO’s of AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth, now he’s the one looking at possible jail time! Loved this post on one of the blogs this morning… ”The NSA has a new pamphlet about its domestic spying programs available. If you want one, just call your mother and ask for it.” If I was Qwest, I'd have an ad campaign breaking tomorrow talking about how we protect our customers privacy. Wanna bet their agency won't even think about doing something as pro-active as that?
If George was still doing my ads, it would have aired by now!!!
Watch Qwest stocks as well.

They have nothing to do with Qwest however. It's more netroot politics and Blue Buying.
