| [The Wash Times] The Central Intelligence Agency has been paying communications giant $10 million annually for access to the companyÂ’s massive database of telephone records, which contains international and domestic calls, government sources said. Other Agency communications clients to step forward ? The business deal is voluntary, The New York Times reported. Neither subpoena nor court order compels the company to participate, the unnamed government officials said in the report. Quite correct, a simple business decision based on the merits. Nothing to do with the IRS at all. Nothing at all. By the way, how was the $10 million per year treated for tax purposes ? |

| #1 I remember when Joe Nacchio (QWEST) was defending his $500M platinum parachute against the SEC. He claimed some NATSEC executive privilege because he rejected a NSA surveillance request from 2001. |
