They're sure pulling out all the stops to protect Bush, aren't they?

[originalpckelly]

The phone companies must have some really dirty shit on him.

1. yes! thats exactly whay they're doing.

[tekisui]

2. They protect the Criminals above all else.

[originalpckelly]

5. Oh, I assure you, it's also to protect their seats in Congress.

Remember the Watergate wins for the Democrats? They don't want that to happen again.

I think they couldn't give a shit about Bush, these people are reptiles, they'd eat their own children if need be.

They want to protect themselves.

6. Aka, each other.

Disgusting but not surprising, is it?

[malaise]

3. BIngo! n/t

4. My thoughts exactly....

...this has NOTHING to do with "terra," but with a concerted effort to protect Bush's butt.

[originalpckelly]

9. Of course this has nothing to do with terrorism, they've already been offered a bill...

without the liability exemption in it, but Bush refused it. It's about protecting that SOB, and preventing massive Republican losses in the elections.

The phone companies have probably promised to spill the beans if they don't get protection from liability.

7. A question

If blanket telecom spying on all America is so crucial for "the war on terror", how come all this illegal spying, which started WELL BEFORE 9-11, DID NOTHING TO PREVENT 9-11???

10. Because

I believe that BushCo was looking for internal enemies, those who would stand up against them. They didn't care about outside enemies, they wanted the goods on the Dems and any Repubs who might defy them. And I'm willing to bet that the telecoms kept all that they provided to the NSA, to make sure they had the leverage to protect themselves.

I would guess that most of the Repubs have something to hide, and that some of the Dems are also afraid of the truths about them being revealed!

Now all of this is just supposition on my part, but why are they so adamant about this retroactive immunity????

11. There you go again being logical, i guess you no you'll never fit in!

Peace!

[EFerrari]

12. Shhh! You'll scare the children! n/t

[alfredo]

8. No immunity for corporations that engaged in espionage against Americans.

[havocmom]

13. cheney does, to be sure. And you're probably right about telecomms

They must have those emails SOMEWHERE :evilgrin:

If they get sued, they take cheney/bush with them.
