Democrats Ready to Sell Out On Wiretap Law
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000311.html
Greetings. According to the New York Times, Democrats in
Congress -- still terrified of looking soft if they don't give the
Bush administration essentially everything it wants to spy on
communications, including possibly indemnifying the telcos for their
illegal wiretapping already performed -- are apparently ready to
roll over and sell some of our most precious standards down
the river ( http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/09/washington/09nsa.html ).
Gutless and spineless are the most polite descriptions I can
come up with right now.
Simply nauseating.
