That's My Congressman

Congressman Smith gives internet search companies hell for their complicity in the imprisonment and torture of Chinese dissidents. From the Times piece:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 — In a crowded House hearing room, Representative Christopher Smith, Republican of New Jersey, unleashed a scathing condemnation of four American Internet and technology companies — Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Cisco — for a "sickening collaboration" with the Chinese government and for "decapitating the voice of the dissidents" there. . .
Now, if he would provide a similar lambasting to Verizon, Sprint, etc. for their complicity in the illegal U.S. Government spying on American citizens.
