Phone Companies

As readers of this blog know, I’m helping CREDO Action run their campaign to stop warrantless wiretapping and retroactive immunity, which to this point has focused mostly on the legislative fight in the Senate. But CREDO Action is an arm of CREDO Mobile, a cell phone company, which is also connected to Working Assets, a telephone and credit card company. It’s all somewhat complicated and I can’t promise I’m accurately representing the breakdown.

Will Easton has a post up on the CREDO Blog comparing CREDO to the big telecoms AT&T and Verizon. Needless to say, CREDO comes out on looking pretty great compared to their Bush administration-partnering, illegal spying-enabling competitors.

    CREDO is warrantless-ly wiretapping us?

    I knew it.

    Hrm, that was unclear. Just recast the sentence…

    Heh, it was a lame joke on my part.
