Google?s top privacy executive ditched the legal script Wednesday, launching a spirited defense of his company?s relationship with the National Security Agency, writing, ?We?re not in cahoots with the NSA.?

Google CEO Larry Page issued a carefully crafted statement the day after news of the story broke, writing, ?We have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government... direct access to our servers.?
