Startling statements from former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchios defense documents alleging the National Security Agency began building a massive call records database seven months before 9/11 arent the only accusations that the controversial program predated the attacks of 9/11.
According to court documents unveiled this week, former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio clearly wanted to argue in court that the NSA retaliated against his company after he turned down a NSA request on February 27, 2001 that he thought was illegal. Nacchios attorney issued a carefully worded statement in 2006, saying that Nacchio had turned down the NSAs repeated requests for customer call records. The statement says that Nacchio was asked for the records in the fall of 2001, but doesnt say he was “first asked” then.
