Subject: Qwest flip flops on Govt. surveillance, publicly supports
data retention laws
Qwest got a welcome dose of positive press earlier this year for being
an apparently lone holdout in rejecting NSA surveillance proposals
unless the relevant legal requirements/forms/warrants were met.
It turns out that it's not that Qwest opposes broad surveillance, they
apparently welcome it. They just don't want to get caught possibly
breaking any laws while enabling it...
