Once-classified documents that were unveiled in the insider-trading case of Nacchio also suggest the U.S. government didn't offer lucrative contracts to the company after Nacchio refused to cooperate with what the documents call "improper government requests" in February 2001.

The documents, submitted as part of Nacchio's defense in the insider-trading case, don't elaborate on the government requests. Nacchio has said in the past he didn't comply when asked by the National Security Agency, which heads up U.S. electronic surveillance, for access to the private phone records of Qwest customers.

Qwest Communications, the official communications provider, has laid the groundwork for wireline voice and data services in the Xcel Center. The aggregate data capacity of Qwest's network is about 50 billion bits per second--fast enough to transmit an entire HD movie in just a few seconds.

Though the eight-year-old Xcel Center is modern, as Everett said, Qwest overlaid 100 percent of the wiring in the building. Trent Clausen, Qwest's director of network operations for the RNC, said that the building's age made the transition to Qwest's network "pretty seamless."

So. Qwest Communications refused to turn over customer records to the bush administration. And bush has said how imperative it is for telecommunication companies to assist “in the efforts to defend our nation”. So, obviously, by implication, Qwest was against the US, because as the bush has said “You’re either with us, or you are against us” That’s pretty plain speaking there.

So then, even though Qwest is totally unrepentent over its attempt to undermine our American values, the republican party hires them to set up the network for their convention. Giving money to those who would undermine our values because they obviously “hate our freedoms.”

And now the quiz.

Doesn’t this mean that mccain and palin are not only “palling around with, not some “old used up terrorist”, but an active terrorist organization, but also funneling money to them so that it can continue its nefarious activities?
