    What happened between September 2001 and October 2003

    Is there any link whatsoever in the testimony in the QWEST/Nacchio criminal trial in which testimony and evidence was submitted that indicated that QWEST actually refused to cooperate with an NSA request for network access as early as February 2001 after the QWEST legal staff determined that the request was illegal?

    I think your time frame may be wrong and I wonder if THAT TIMEFRAME is what is being concealed from scrutiny.

    That the Bush Administration began their illegal warrantless surveillance program well before September 11th thereby debunking their loose leggal justification for the program and opening a whole other set of questions about the legitimacy of his criminal activities.
