    Call their bluff: Indemnify!

    Glenn,

    As you have so thoroughly pointed out, the idea that there could be any liability resulting from running the ad with the statements of illegal activities by companies identified in the ad is laughable. So, why not offer Comcast an indemnity agreement in which they are held harmless in any action resulting from claims arising from the running of the ad? After all, you can bet the house that they got just such an agreement from DHS before they started illegal wiretapping.
