It seems the media has a love affair with reporting some erroneous claims about Domestic spying. The AP and NY times continue to say that the program started after the September 11th attacks, but in reality the NSA approached Qwest and AT&T many months prior to 9/11. So not only does this lie of “terrorism surveillance program” come from the White House, but the media is just as complicit to publish incorrect information about the program.

So when you continue to hear the debates about FISA and how the Democrats in power right now refuse to go along with retroactive immunity (even though Bush says they didn’t break the law, but yet they need retroactive immunity) let’s pause and look at the facts. They spied on Americans without a court order, they did this in lieu of the FISA law that allows them to tap people for 72 hours without a court order in the first place, and this violates our constitutional rights, PERIOD. There should be no debate. Hell we should be prosecuting Bush for not upholding the Constitution of the US, something every president swears to do.

Bush is not worried about the capture of intelligence via a revised FISA law. He is only worried about giving legal protection to telecommunication companies that have broken the law.
