I've read three recent articles about the warrant-less wiretaps and this is another case where our system of checks and balances seems to be threatened:
Newsweek ran a story, by Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball, on MSNBC.com titled: Case Dismissed?
The secret lobbying campaign your phone company doesn't want you to know about
Glenn Greenwald pretty much repeated the story titled, “Former Clinton officials lobby for amnesty for FISA lawbreaking” on Salon.com.
And the New York Times also ran a related story, by James Risen, titled Warrantless Wiretaps Not Used, Official Says. Why can't the FISA court be adapted and why is there so much pressure to immunize everybody from any form of judicial oversight and responsibility for past actions?
Since when are we supposed to trust only one branch of our government to protect our interests?
As for the telecom companies, remember, Qwest Communications stood up to the Bush administration’s warrant-less wiretapping when the other communication companies rolled over.
If there is anything I believe in, it's accountability.
