Decent but cursory. Maddeningly few details about a story that broke several months ago. But three cheers for Qwest! Even though its CEO just got convicted of insider trading.

This is more of a human interest story covering the why and the how an employee of ATT decided to "blow the whistle". Good interview style, and gives us an insight to the motives and concerns of the man. The headline is very misleading

a key story about wiretapping Americans' phones but more fizzle than sizzle . . .

This is a primary sourced interview of a topic which has little coverage considering its gravity.

For once a story is scary to me....eerie.... we have known about the NSA electronic spying and have heard little of any attempt to stop it or hold Bush & co accountable...... also about attempt to confine and redefine whistle-blowers,,,,,, good reporting if only to stir the pot! Congress get a large broad side....according to Gallup deserved.

Well-written, interview-based article that predominantly explores one side of this complex issue. It's a good investigative piece that does not transgress into advocacy journalism.
