Disgusting

According to the Wall Street Journal:

We're told that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is saying privately he now won't attempt to update the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on the wiretapping of al Qaeda suspects. Instead, he'll merely support another 18-month extension of the six-month-old Protect America Act. Among other problems, the temporary bill includes no retroactive immunity for the telecom companies that cooperated with the feds after 9/11.

Jesus, what's wrong with these people. The "Protect America Act," also known as the "Spy on America Act," is terrible. It allows the Prez to do anything he wants to do, to spy on anyone, American or otherwise, without any meaningful oversight. These guys just have no guts whatsoever. It's time to throw them all out.
