re: #377 Nyet

I can’t prove it of course, but I suspect that 80% of folks here (and Lizards are the reasonable sort) would have rejected this article back then as an unproved anonymous speculation, at best a “maybe”. Saying that you “knew” this is an exaggeration.

That is incorrect.

1) This was not the only article on the story.
2) There was a fairly large uproar over this, and there was the subsequent decision by Bush’s Justice Department NOT to prosecute the phone companies, although they had potentially broken the law by supplying the data.
3) I am surprised that you or anyone does not remember this. I was well aware of it. My friends and family discussed it extensively.
