What you said . . .

Why are we using a foreign gov't controlled company?

This is an EXTREMELY good question and one which, I fear, we will NEVER see answered!

The Deutsche Telekom (the parent of T-Mobile) is a STATE Controlled Company - considering this - WHY would the US Government allow ANY of it's e-mail / phone / or other service to be provided by them? What guarantees are there that these "sensitive" e-mails where not forwarded - as a matter of course - to German Intelligence Angencies?

It is INSANE to allow this, and, IMHO, the person(s) responsible for allowing it should be thrown out of government service ASAP!!!

What exactly is at that link that you wanted us to see? I didn't see anything related to this at the link (but I may be "blind").

It seems to me he left the country and the State Department because he is about to be Rice'd.

I don't think it is a coincidence he is languishing in a country that does not have an extradition treaty with us.

Now, if only the Indonesian Federalis would find the drugs Burks is obviously using and selling to the Indonesian people, then we'd never have to hear from him ever again.

Follow the money.....there's a reason some people in DC chose this company. The "who" is the real question - not the "why".

You know, these ar$eholes that spend their time hacking and causing all this mess could probably make a decent living if they chose to be a productive person in life. What creeps these folks are.

We signed my wife up with T-Mobile in early December.
