Telecoms get a walk on warrantless wiretapping
These companies were bad corporate citizens. It wasn't like they jumped up to help in a time of national crisis. It has been reported their lawyers resisted initially for many of the same issues involved in these suits. It wasn't until the idiots of the Bush administration threatened economic reprisals that the telecoms saw their way clear to comply. The telecoms had a duty to resist illegal acts and chose not to based on bottom line concerns.
So the telecoms get (insert dollar figure here) their friends in Congress to pass unconstitutional protections for them. This is bad law and is the stuff that makes us cynical. ¶ 6/04/2009 07:26:00 AM
