You should check out rawstory.com — it’s a great website and they are all over issues like this.

I do agree, though, where is the outrage? People have become so apathetic and passive — mainly, I think, because our politicians are not responsive to normal Americans — only lobbyists. If torture and warrantless surveillance isn’t enough, one must ask the question: what will it take for the populace to make some noise???

athena – News organizations didn’t want to stand up to the bush administration. they are still running scared.

Jeff – Now is the time to push back. I think that Obama will stop most of if not all of this spying.

Margaret – You are so right. Qwest was the only telecom to say NO.

Thanks for your comments.

It only proves why Bush pushed so hard to get them immunity. Qwest is the only large telecom company who refused to join in the data diving and was punished by not being allowed to bid or to get any government contracts. They should be rewarded for fighting back. They will always be my phone company and my companies. Just for this reason.

We don’t see this “plastered” everywhere because spying on Americans is the national program and Americans are just stuck with it. Don’t like being spied on? Tough. You don’t get a choice. That attitude goes clear to the top. While running in the Democratic Party primaries as Senator Obama, President Obama vowed he’d filibuster any bill immunizing telecom companies that helped NSA spy on Americans. Sounded great. But Senator Obama didn’t filibuster the telecom-immunity legislation. He voted to pass it.

Yes, where is the outrage for this?!?!
I did a google search on the story this morning and yours is the only site that came up with anything current. Why are we not seeing this plastered across the front pages of the newspapers? It isn’t like the media has to worry anymore about losing access to government resources, is it?
