| Phoney liberals who side with the enemy lose. Here from the AP wire:
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush signed a bill Thursday that overhauls rules about government eavesdropping and grants immunity to telecommunications companies that helped the U.S. spy on Americans in suspected terrorism cases.
He called it "landmark legislation that is vital to the security of our people."
Bush signed the measure in a Rose Garden ceremony a day after the Senate sent it to him, following nearly a year of debate in the Democratic-led Congress over surveillance rules and the warrantless wiretapping program Bush initiated after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It was a battle that pitted privacy and civil liberties concerns against the desire to prevent terrorist attacks and Democrats' fears of being portrayed as weak when it comes to protecting the country.
Its passage was a major victory for Bush, an unpopular lame-duck president who nevertheless has been able to prevail over Congress on most issues of national security and intelligence disputes.
In other words, all the phoney hype trumpeted by the left doesn't amount to squat. Bush did and continues to do the right thing, now validated by the democratic majority.
Bush lied, etc., ad nauseum doesn't amount to anything other than a waste of bandwidth.
What a bunch of bedwetters. Impotent given their values are not based on fact, much less common sense.
Too bad for the lawyers, they cannnot steal millions from the telecoms over unsubstantiated "violations of our rights".
