I actually feel sorry for the telecoms....Imagine being in their position, making gazillions of dollars, with buildings just filled with lawyers, and still unable to defend themselves in any manner whatsoever when President Bush demands them to jump.
Why they have nowhere near the resources that I do, a private citizen, barely making ends meet, to protest against government actions.
You are being completely unfair to AT&T and their shareholders to demand any sort of civic responsibility from them. They are helpless, leave them alone, we're lucky they do anything for us.
There's some truth to that, when you consider that the Associated Press, the world's most powerful and largest news organization, is helpless to defend photographer Bilal Hussein against this outlaw president's army. Hussein has been proven innocent by the AP, yet he remains in prison. Perhaps the telecoms had nothing to fear but imprisonment and torture.
