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.

Forward Glenn's Article to Your Representatives and Senators

I saw Lichtblau's article yesterday and was stunned and horrified at the obvious duplicity. I was so shocked, I tried to figure out who this Lichtblau guy is (I really don't keep a scorecard on media types)... only to find that he apparently got a share of a Pulitzer for original reporting related to disclosing the existence of the illegal wiretapping program??? What's with that, who got to this guy and how did they do it?

But I was hoping to see a GG post today in response to the bile in Lichtblau's article, and am grateful for Glenn's analysis/debunking this morning.

Nothing could be more disgraceful than the Dems actually caving on this fear mongering as a last gift to W before shipping him off to the Hague. There is no conceivable excuse for the Democratic Party to do anything other than extend current law beyond the inauguration so that the next administration can address the whole structure of the law without regard for what Bush and his cabal would "demand".

Send Glenn's article to your congressional delegation. Don't let them betray us yet again.
