Select members of Congress have been briefed, at least in part, on the Bush Administration Warrantless Wiretapping Program since 2001. The “Gang of Eight” and other Congressional leaders briefed on The Program when it was clearly in violation of existing FISA law included several Democrats still in leadership positions in Congress. It is not surprising these Democratic leaders are now willing to compromise on every surveillance concession demanded by the White House. Nor is it any surprise that they are willing to grant retroactive immunity to TelCos…. Because TelCo immunity will likely mean immunity for the Administration officials who ordered the illegality. And of course, it will also mean immunity* for the Congressmen and women who gave a Congressional green light to the Administration.
