NYT circulates fear-mongering claims on FISA debate

The White House and Congress prepare to tell Americans: If you want to stay safe, you must give the president the power to spy on you without warrants, and immunize telecoms from the consequences of lawbreaking.

    Congressional Democrats and the real question

    Are they being bullied into supporting warrant-less eavesdropping and telecom immunity, or are they making believe they are being bullied while secretly wanting access to the exact same powers?

    It's hard to believe they are being bullied by a group despised by the citizenry (except for the 28% "dead-enders").

    BTW, it would be nice if Obama took the lead on this, and showed all the talk of "change" is more than just a campaign slogan.
