BushCo: Americans consented to NSA

I expected something un-fucking- believable like this: The Bush admin's legal response to relevations that 10s of millions of personal phone records have been acquired by the NSA thru our phone service providers: "A company can turn over its entire database of customer records (and even the stored content of calls and e-mails) b/c customers "have consented to that" when they establish accounts. The fine print of many telephone and Internet service contracts includes catchall provisions, authorizing the company to disclose such records to protect public safety or natl security, or in compliance w/ a lawful govt request."
