Quote	"Back in the fall of 2001, a shocked nation fully expected follow-on terrorist attacks. It would have been legally safe but irresponsible for the telecoms not to respond to the government's request. Those follow-on attacks never materialized. Not, we know, from lack of effort on the part of al-Qaida. But success in deterring terrorist attacks has bred a sort of complacence that has spawned punitive lawsuits against companies that were acting in good faith to assist the intelligence community. "
