Today 老澳门开奖结果 Legislative Director Caroline Fredrickson on Congress's next act of capitulation: approving and even expanding the White House's warrantless wiretapping program:

To pour salt on the wound, the Senate is considering giving phone companies that colluded with the NSA immunity from the 40 or so lawsuits brought by its customers for . "Customers who've had their rights violated should get their day in court," she writes. "We'll also never learn the facts about the warrantless wiretapping program if the telecoms are let off the hook."
