HOLDER'S GAG ORDER ON NSA

Microsoft has written a letter to Eric Holder asking him to remove the gag order imposed by the Attorney General against companies that have been collecting data on Americans for the government's National Security Agency.  I didn't even know the gag order existed, it was so gagged.   The letter says the incredible secrecy prevents the company from telling the truth about the program -- to the detriment of America itself.  

Microsoft says it has resisted the government where it could: It does not provide the government with direct access to its servers and it did not give the government keys to its encryption.  

It is obvious that this Administration is going to continue to do what it wants, when it wants, and to whom it wants... whether it's legal or not.
