President Bush was asking congress to grant the telecom industry retroactive immunity for their part in granting the Bush administration access to their networks to spy on ordinary Americans … seven months before 9/11! Yesterday, thanks to Senator Chris Dodd President Bush didn’t get his way. There are a lot of procedural and technical details involved – not to mention the telecom “retroactive immunity” lobby will be back – so click on this link to Glen Greenwald, who explains what’s happening (if the link doesn’t work click here for the Dailykos intro).
For now, Dodd gets kudos for standing tall, and reminding us all that the Democratic Party can stand up to Mr. 24% and his disasterous presidency.
