it's a grey area at best-- i think the telecoms would be made scapegoats while the real culprits laugh their way to the bank.

They should have all been like Qwest and denied spying. Its their problem but ultimately the admins. By having the suits against the telephone companies it brings out the "well they, the admin, told us its ok response" and forces officials to answer for it. It wasn't ok, even during wartime, the most important time to follow all laws to prevent unnec. power grabs. And u know, ok, you know, that these guys first enemy is progressives. They are spying not only for terror. I don't beleive that for a second after Plame and everything else.
