2. Who retired first and did not endanger his own job initially. How many more are silent

because they feed a family and have a sweet pension plan?

3. I am just grateful he dares speak out at all. n/t

4. I wonder when this started.

I read a German website that claimed that the Clinton administration pressed European countries to change European law to end privacy protections of their electronic communications. The purpose of eavesdropping and surveillance at that time was claimed to be to monitor and end copyright violations. (Remember all the noise about that back in the '90s.) I wonder whether our government has been snooping on electronic communications for a long time.

5. After Bush took office, and before 9/11, according to court documents

in the trial in Colorado against the telecom CEO who told them NO.
