Bush Says Americans Should "Thank" the Telecoms for Illegally Spying on Them
Posted by Amanda Terkel, Think Progress
The Bush administration has launched an aggressive campaign to pressure the House into passing retroactive immunity for telecoms that participated in the government's warrantless wiretapping program.
Because they complied in illegally wiretapping their customers, telecoms currently face around 40 lawsuits. Yesterday in a speech to the National Association of Attorneys General, Bush sharply criticized Americans who are suing the telecoms:
Now the question is, should these lawsuits be allowed to proceed, or should any company that may have helped save American lives be thanked for performing a patriotic service; should those who stepped forward to say we're going to help defend America have to go to the courthouse to defend themselves, or should the Congress and the President say thank you for doing your patriotic duty? I believe we ought to say thank you.
Bush is implying that Americans who oppose telecom immunity are unpatriotic. But the American people don't owe the telecoms any gratitude. These corporations chose to break the law and profited greatly from doing so. (At least one company refused to comply with the Bush administration's request because it knew the actions were illegal.).........

January 20th, 2009 will not come soon enough. But it may be too late already. Not very optimistic lately on the political scene. I just don't trust Hillary and she seems hell bent to trash Obama if she doesn't get her way.
i will NEVER vote for hillary.NEVER. i don't trust her, i think she owes too many people too many favors AND i think she went over the line trashing barack.
Oh come on, Rose. Let's you and I skip happily to the polling place and cast our ballot for Hillary. We like secretive governments run and administered by corporate powers and military special interests. We like government by, for, and about multinational corporations.
i heard some wicked sickening shite about kbr on npr coming home from work yesterday. it's not quite illegal but it's effing slimy (slimey?).
they hire people out of the cayman islands so they don't have to pay social security or any other federal tax type stuff. the military is aware of it and says it does save THEM money. of course as a whole it's NOT saving the COUNTRY money. bullshite all
