    Are you crazy? Listening in on the conversations of private citizens does absolutely nothing to protect us from terrorists. It's a waste of the taxpayer's money and an insult to our intelligence. Wake up! Why do you think Bin Laden is still 'out there'? It's just a ploy to get American's fearful enough to hand over our civil rights on a silver platter. You are playing right into their hands.

    I find it hard to believe that no one came out in support of AT&T and NSA. I am upset that some liberal "rights" group wants to sue AT&T. I wish I had a large amount of stock in AT&T; I would tell them to keep my dividends while they fought the lawsuit. Liberals and Democrats (probably an oxymoron) keep harping about what NSA and the CIA has to do to protect us since 9/11. They need to wake up.

    And while we are on the subject of liberals, anyone upset about the high gasoline prices at the pumps? You shouldn't be. When you have 30 years of liberal, Democrat environmentalists who would not let a new refinery be built, kept us from drilling on the Northern Slope, over-regulated coal mining, voted down nuclear power for cheap electricity; and mandated that the refineries do all these dozens of designer blends of gasoline for "each county in California" (well almost!), what can you expect?

    Stupid is as stupid does. We need three or four (maybe less) blends of gasoline that we can move across the country. That would be a start, but you have to get off your butt and tell your representative and two senators what you want! Right now they listen to the "nonsense noise liberals." We have to speak up.

    You asked what we should do with the loud mouth who complained about AT&T helping NSA and CIA? I would tell you, but GovExec.com would not print this posting.

    Looking for a leader with a backbone.

    So now that this former AT&T employee has divulged both classified and company confidential information what happens to him?
