I'm Going To Ask The Questions One More Time Re: NSA/Telco...

[global1]

data mining.

Sources Say The NSA Made It Clear That It Was Willing To Pay for the cooperation by the Telcos.

1. Where did the money come from? (the money the NSA paid to the telcos)

2. How much did they pay? (what dollar amount did they pay? (per piece of data? millions?, etc)

And What I Consider The Most Important Question:

3. How was this payment reflected in the telcos financial statements? (some CPA - tell me how if I was the telco I would log this in my financials?)

4. Are the phone companies still providing the NSA with phone records as we debate this? (is this still going on?; are the telcos still providing the NSA with data?; are they still getting paid?; where is this money coming from?)

1. Unconstitutional funding for unconstitutional programs is....

1. Illegal, 2. Corrupt, and 3. Impeachable

2. I'm sure our tax dollars are helping to spy on us; isn't that

just too ironic?

As for your other questions, I hope someone has the smarts to ask them and demand answers. :grr:

3. My Question #3 Is Critical In My Opinion Because.....

I can't imagine that they have a line item on their Income Statement that says:

NSA Payment For Data Mining Record Purchase

I want to know if it is out their in their financial statements or are the Telcos hiding this payment in their financials.

If they are calling this payment something else or if they are not reflecting it in their financials - what would be the consequences?
