We're back to the old Bush policy of "if you want to remain free, you have to give up some of your freedoms". I never understood this reasoning. If the Islamic terrorists "hate our freedoms", then isn't Bush doing exactly what the terrorists want by asking us to give up some freedoms?
Yes, this is about telecom immunity. Bush insists that for Americans to remain free and safe in their homes, giant telecom companies must not be prosecuted for possibly breaking the law. Did the telecoms break the law? If they didn't, they don't need immunity. If they did break the law, wouldn't it be nice to know exactly what they did? That is the sticking point. Bush doesn't want us to know what the telecoms did because it would open doors that he doesn't want open. Remember Adm. Poindexter's "total information awareness" program that was shut down by Congress a few years ago? Was it really shut down?
