The President himself acknowledged existence of the program, so that is no longer in dispute. I am, however, starting to think that perhaps the leadership of these companies truly didn't know that this has been going on. I'm curious if these orders can be served directly to mere employees that have access to install the monitoring software/hardware, with confidentiality obligations barring them from telling their employer. Another explanation may be that NSA agents simply obtained jobs at each company, and those agents installed the monitoring software/hardware without the knowledge of the companies. This would explain the dismay, and the clear embarrassment of the NSA.
