Comcast deeply appreciates citizen concerns regarding alleged wiretapping under the FISA laws. For our part, it is a matter of public record that we have not made our systems available to the government for any customer surveillance without valid legal process, and we have not lobbied on FISA legislation.
What is a matter of public record exactly? That some Concast lawyer put out a public statement claiming that Concast wasn't involved in any illegal surveillance? Is that the extent of the "public record?"
By "without valid legal process" do you mean "without the kings say so"? Because that's my bet. King BushCo told you it was "legal" because, well, he said so and you went with it correct? Oh yeah and need we point out to you that much of the surveillance was done outside of FISA and thus was illegal? BushCo has admitted as much. Are you actually trying to convince us that none of that extralegal activity involved Concast? I don't buy it. I think there should be some legal action taken to find out the truth. Oh wait, that's right, there already is some in the works.
You better get your bought and paid for congresscritters to get you that blanket immunity. Your very existence may depend on it.
