Oh, yeah, it was to cover up administration crimes.

Now if they acted outside the law on just the word of the President. That is illegal and there is no immunity in my wallet for them. Qwest acted lawfully. If the telecoms acted illegally and don’t feel there should be punishment for illegal acts. Even at the personal and private requests of a President, that can only make promise that future amnesty will be given. I can only say that the President promised the Telecoms something he doesn’t have to give……..

read some of the comments on that site….these people seem wholly detached from reality….they call saddams true claims that he had no wmd to be “propaganda” and they actually act like the iraqis have any prospect for a better life now than they did under saddam….apparently in thier minds pre-war iraq was one enormous rape factory and nows its well on its way to becoming some sort of utopia..interestingly enough, these are the same people who think bush should be able to do everything and anything saddam did, as long as its done in the name of fighting terrorism. they think democracy in iraq is great but dont seem too fond of what democracy has wrought in palestine, for some reason..

oh, also one of them had the audacity to single out DEMOCRATS as receiving questionable favors from lobbyists.
guess he was asleep through the whole abrahamhoff scandal and everyone it implicated.

do these peoples brains shut off whenever they start receiving information that doesnt mesh with thier worldview, or what?

Drop a frog in boiling water and it will jump out, but but him in cold water and gradually turn up the heat and he will quietly allow himself to die. Sadly, most people in this world possess only slighty more critical thinking skills than a frog…

Lobby them over there so they won’t lobby us over here! (unabashed snark)

ONE of the defining characteristics to what it means to BE AN AMERICAN is the ability for one to be FREE FROM UNWARRANTED SEARCHES AND SEIZURES FROM A FORM OF GOVERNMENT; The FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY!

R E M E M B E R:
THEY(sic) HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOMS…

… and so THEY(sic) debate and lobby the merits to undermining those very freedoms.

No, thanks, Mukasey, you’re just plagiarising Giuliani, and we thought his act wore old a while back.

Cheers,

You do the math. To me it looks like we’re the bad guys. Fortunately we can change ourselves every four years without a war.

My fondest dream includes seeing everyone of the b@stards arraigned, tried, found guilty and sentenced to life in prison (if not hanged) for treason.

Friday afternoon and my brain cells are almost gone.

Which is exactly why Bushco and his band of merry men are pulling out all the stops to make sure it doesn’t happen.

NO on immunity!!!

NO immunity for spying on Americans. The telecoms did do it before 9-11 and they deserve to pay the price.

I can’t wait for Obama to take over these FASCISTS.

Adams was a driving force in our Declaration of Independence.

Mufakesy is a coffin nail in the WH drive to corporate dependence.

Adams believed in truth above all.

Mufakesy believes the truth is whatever Cheney says.

I firmly believe, after watching ‘Bush’s War’, that Bush himself was one of the first to be blackmailed by Cheney. They needed a short leash on the cheerleader. Perhaps that’s why Bush’s Bilderberg ‘name’ is ‘temporary’…they only need him while he’s in the WH.

Blackmail, you say? Why not? …camera pans in on tarmack at isolated runway, where G.W. & Jeb await a load of prime Columbian coke…
