i wonder if say, 300 years from now (assuming humanity still exists... doubtful, but oh well) ... they will say in history class about the great ideas and potential america had, and how it then squandered it all .

I'm hopeful that we still have enough smart people in this country to undo what's been done by this administration.
Who am I kidding? We're *fudge*ed.

Pretty sure that the FISA bill protects the telecoms from CIVIL suits, but not from criminal prosecution if it turns out that ShrubCo asked them to do something illegal and they went ahead and did it.
'Course everybody knows Shrubco wouldn't have done that.
Then again:
Why did Qwest tell them in February of 2001, 7 months before 9-11, to go pound sand?
What IS ShrubCo hiding?

True, the bill going forward is pretty much a good thing. Its the immunity for past indiscretions that gets under my skin a bit. It sets a precedent that Big Bro can ask someone to do something illegal and get them immunity should it blow up in their faces. While I do not believe in too punitive a punishment for it this time, I did want a precedent to be set - don't break the law no matter who asks you to. |
