Just because someone can register one of the names hardly makes Verisign's use of the name not some form of "squatting".
Verisign's use is not innocent - they are making money off of a resource that they are not paying for. In addition, their use contaminates a name - there are residual effects of Verisign's use even after someone buys that name - there are the records that take time to expire and fade fromr view and there are is the "reputation" of that name as captured by the huge number of web caches and search engines that are constantly sniffing around the net.
To claim that Verisign's use is innocent and permissible is like saying that an automobile dealer who is using its inventory of new cars as taxis, but still selling the cars as new, is acting innocently.

Karl, you're REALLY stretching here... some theoretical residual contamination, from getting pointed to a search engine? Far fetched. And the taxi cab analogy....? Last I checked domain names aren't "worn out" by use!!!!!
