-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Keith Olbermann rocks. :-) [snip Keith Olbermanns Special Comment tonight on Countdown was yet another scathing rebuke of President Bush and his lies about the pending FISA legislation and fear tactics during his final State of the Union address earlier this week. Bush has said repeatedly he would veto any FISA legislation that did not include immunity for the telecommunications companies who broke the law and betrayed the American people. However, as Keith points out, if the president were to veto the legislation and there was another terrorist attack inside the U.S., he, and he alone would be responsible for it all in the name of protecting huge corporations over the American people he was charged with protecting. [snip] I consider this a "must see" by anyone who actually cares about this issue: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/01/31/countdown-special-comment-on-fisa- and-telecom-immunity/ My favorite part: "Mr. Bushs new Attorney General, Mr. Mukasey, the one who has already taken four different positions on water-boarding, and who may yet tie that record on this subject of telecom immunity he has a very personal stake in this." "There happens to be a partner in the law firm of Bracewell and Giuliani, named Marc Mukasey. And Bracewell and Giuliani and the Attorney Generals son Marc, just happen to represent Verizon." Priceless.
