The bill is just what it says it is. We need to ensure that no one can bring our intelligence efforts to a halt by tyeing up our communications companies in civil harrassment law suits.
The same people who whined that our government didn''t protect us from 9/11, now wants to hamstring our efforts to provide that very protection.

Bush is trying to keep himself out of jail when he leaves office. That is all. If the telcos can be sued for the illegality of breaching privacy rights, then so can Bush. Simple. And it won''t work.

This is about protecting B-U-S-H not the telcos. He knows that a civil suit will lead to him and his breaking of current US laws. We are a country of laws, aren''t we?
