Telephone companies need to be held accountable for their actions, if
only to make them think before allowing illegal surveillance
activities.  Though I think it is a bit weak to criticize the presidents
methods (i.e. using a third party) when the EFF is advocating using the
same third party (AT&T) to attack the presidents surveillance program. 
Not that I have any sympathy for AT&T,  they didn't appear to have any
concerns about complying with the surveillance program.

This is the first time I have seen this sort of subject line used for
something that wasn't spam.
