Jay Rockefeller channels Dick Cheney's fear-mongering to urge telecom amnesty
The Senate Intelligence Committee chairman reads from the standard Bush/Cheney script to justify telecom lawbreaking.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-10-31]

  • The leading Democratic candidate has spoken

    in her now-usual, ambiguous way. Asked about telecom immunity, Hillary Clinton has said,

    "I am troubled by the concerns that have been raised by the recent legislation reported out of the Intelligence Committee. I haven't seen it so I can't express an opinion about it. But I don't trust the Bush Administration with our civil rights and liberties. So I'm going to study it very hard. As matters stand now, I could not support it and I would support a filibuster absent additional information coming forward that would convince me differently."

    Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary ends up voting for amnesty. Then she'll rationalize her vote in some way. Just like the war, just like Kyl-Lieberman -- unless she keeps hearing from us.
