« Consciousness in a Box | Main | IPCC Final Report: Climate Change Urgency » No telecom immunity (yet)So far, the House hasn't done anything to grant immunity to telecoms for allowing illegal wiretaps, as requested (okay, they saw it as a mandate) by the Bush Administration. I like what Pat Leahy said: "While I appreciate the problems facing the telecommunications companies, the retroactive immunity issue to me is not about fixing blame on the companies but about holding government accountable," Leahy said in a statement. "Passing a law to whitewash the Administration’s undermining of another law would be a disservice to the American people and to the rule of law." [Link] jon posted this at 10:32 AM |
