He's full of it and so are the other childish whiners (filled with Bush hatred).

"Law-breaking telecoms" (rightly shielded from junk lawsuits)?

"(B) the subject of a written request or directive . . . indicating that the activity was (i) authorized by the President; and (ii) determined to be lawful."

So, Greenwald equates intelligence gathering activities to the Holocaust, and this is seen as a valid comparison.

Well let's see… President Bush has been expanding his powers for the past seven years. Now that Bush is on his way out the door the Dems in Congress will pass this bill that Bush wants… thereby cementing power for the next president….. no wonder the Dems and Obama want to support it…

I am disappointed in Obama on this.

It's been a rough week here in mid-Mich. The news of Obama's support for the FISA “compromise” doesn't make it any better.

Very mature and thoughtful analysis, Chris.
I'm sure it will be a great contirbution in Nov.
