RE: NSA cooperation: OK for e-mail, IM companies?

"The onus is on the administration, not the companies, to ensure that the request is on strong legal footing, and if it is not, it is the administration that should be held accountable."... Well duh! The administration should be held accountable for this and other transgressions. However, the companies should be held accountable too because they failed to protect the privacy of customers under the law.

Under existing law, electronic communications providers already are exempted from all liability--as long as the attorney general has delivered a "certification in writing that no warrant or court order is required by law." ...So in other words, this is a means to further cloak and protect the unprecedented, illegal activity of this administration. It makes me sick.
