Legal outsourcing and US government surveillance - blows attorney-client privilege?

Looking for opinions on the intersection of attorney-client privilege
and government monitoring of commercial communications between US firms
and offshore service providers.  A DC law firm has sued the government
claiming that wiretapping and surveillance policies potentially
compromise attorney-client privilege for litigation-related materials
which are sent to India and other countries for document review.
