Is there anything the Bush Administration will not do? Really, I think that is a valid question.
The Bush Administration asks the telcos to break the law and illegally provide them with information, and now that citizens are suing them, the Bush Administration wants Congress to pass a law make them immune to any and all prosecution from those illegal actions. What?!?
The proposal states that “no action shall lie … in any court, and no
penalty … shall be imposed … against any person†for giving the
government information, including customer records, in connection with
alleged intelligence activity the attorney general certifies “is, was,
would be or would have been†intended to protect the United States from
terrorist attack. The measure, which has not yet been filed, is
contained in a proposed amendment to the fiscal 2008 intelligence
authorization bill.

What country do we live in now in which we allow this sheer arrogance and level of incompetence in our government?
