About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing issue of government surveillance on citizens and Congress, highlighting a case involving a telecom CEO's refusal to cooperate with such activities.

Nobody should be surprised that our intel agencies are spying on Congress. We're getting used to the govt. spying on American citizens. But it's no less outrageous than it was decades ago when we first became aware of how bad it was. And an incredible case of what happened to a telecom CEO when he refused to go along with government spying initiated prior to 9/11.
