That will teach the bagger not to play ball with Big Brother!

The Story Of Joseph Nacchio And The NSA - Business Insider

Quote:
Former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio is currently serving a six-year sentence

snip

Nacchio alleged that the government stopped offering the company lucrative contracts after Qwest refused to cooperate with a National Security Agency surveillance program in February 2001.
Seems there may be a whole lot more to the story than originally reported.

And while Booooosh was president in February, 2001 he had only been in office a couple weeks.

Seems like a no brainer to me. You can either stand on principle and forgo government largesse or not, but if you are going to cross the government it is a really good idea not to violate the law.

Cave? They were following the law and there are consequences to not doing it. Perhaps the Op has not paid attention to them asking permission to reveal documents. Without that permission they face criminal consequences. Its not a case of whatever you think with national security secrets.
