Senator Feingold appears at TPM Cafe to explain where things stand on the FISA front. He also explains why further protections for the privacy of innocent Americans need to provided. As to the Bu$hCo failure to follow the FISA law, Senator Feingold wrote:This argument isn’t about whether companies acted in good faith, it’s about requiring that companies, and the government, follow a law that has been on the books for 30 years.
Thirty years! Bu$hCo could have tried to get changes to FISA handled instead of breaking the law. It had been tweaked several times in fact before. When Dubyah got that dreadful "Patriot Act" passed his folks had that opportunity for instance. Bu$hCo got caught breaking the law and I'm thinking they now seek to shield their lawlessness from further inquiry more than simply protecting those telecoms that helped them without a court order or even AG certification.
Well done Senator. Peace ... or War!
