FISA and The Bush Veto Threat

     Bush says that if there is no retroactive immunity ( amnesty ) for the telecoms, that he will veto the FISA bill. So, Bush is then willing to let Americans die ( won't happen if FISA bill expires ) if ATT and others aren't let off the hook for spying on us?

  Ted Kennedy summed it up on the Senate floor on Monday, before the Senate voted and this still holds true for the House.

  The President has said that American lives will be sacrificed if Congress does not change FISA.  But he has also said that he will veto any FISA bill that does not grant retro-active immunity.  No immunity, no FISA bill.  So if we take the President at his word, he's willing to let Americans die to protect the phone companies.  Source

  Different day, same shit for Bush. He's making the amnesty issue the issue. Forget about the terrorist! More solid proof that this FISA version has nothing to do with monitoring terrorist and more to do with monitoring you and I.
