Because I worked on the Qwest account for a number of years, I've been following the news that three telecommunications companies have declined to tell Congress whether they gave U.S. intelligence agencies access to Americans' phone and computer records without court orders, citing White House objections and national security. Joe Nacchio, the ex-CEO of Qwest has claimed during his recent trial that the government contracts his company was promised failed to be realized because of his refusal. And why did he refuse... Because, as he said, it was plainly illegal. Good for him. Unfortunately, it didn't stop AT&T and the other telecom companies from complying. For some, it's always business first.

I'm with the phone company!
