The Bush administration said on Saturday U.S. telecommunications companies have agreed to cooperate "for the time being" with spy agencies' wiretaps, despite an ongoing battle between the White House and Congress over new terrorism surveillance legislation.
Wait just a minute. I thought the House Democrats had signed our death warrants by not rubber-stamping the telecom immunity aspect of the FISA bill. It was Democrats, right?
As congressional aides worked furiously on Thursday to broker a deal on controversial electronic surveillance legislation, there was only one thing missing from the talks: Republicans.Democratic staffers from both chambers have been meeting throughout the week, trying to reach a compromise on an update to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and invited their Republican counterparts to participate.
However, Republican lawmakers have instructed their staffers to boycott the talks, saying they are unnecessary.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
