Their silence is disturbing.

Or maybe they have gone back to the FDR way. Let it out, and see how it plays. If the screams start, then go out front with it. This comment from the lead article in Sunday's NYT sums up what they are doing.

”(ISPs) do have the ability to look at what’s coming out of an individual user’s machine. ... If all that information goes into a single NOC (network operations center) and government agents are sitting there alongside ISP employees and you have government officials seeing what’s coming out of those machines, that sure sounds like a wiretap to me.”
