kudos:1 | The best government money can buy. Don't hold your breath for any form of compensation. The telcos will probably receive immunity because they have the best government money can buy. |

Laws were in place against this sort of thing with punishment already laid out. If they get immunity its further proof that the government is corrupt. Not that we need more proof, but its just another example of how big businesses can break the law and avoid the consequences. |

| Exactly the point. Speculation on getting money from the telcos for what the government told them to do is a waste of time. Big business has always been forgiven for helping the government. |

| AND PUNISHED FOR NOT HELPING. Former QWEST CEO Joseph Nacchio is in prison for not cooperating under the guise of insider trading. To an extent it was accurate...Qwest was supposed to earn BIG CONTRACTS from the govt for spying. Then he decided...you know what, this is illegal so we can't participate. He knew the contracts were not going to materialize so he pulled out some stock before the value went down.
