Reactions to reported NSA PRISM program

[Kevin Halgren <kevin.halgren () WASHBURN EDU>]

For those of you already using Google or Microsoft cloud e-mail 
solutions, I'll be curious to hear the reactions on your campuses to 
this news.

I believe the tech companies are telling the truth when they say they 
don't provide direct backdoor access into their systems and that the 
PRISM presentation may overstate the cooperation and capabilities of the 
system, however that doesn't preclude the government from abusing 
existing systems and capabilities e.g. those under CALEA lawful 
intercept capabilities.
