Telecom Immunity Showdown in the Senate Today

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the come-and-see-the-hypocricy-in-the-system dept.

CPeanutG writes "A make-or-break moment for telecom immunity has arrived — after months of back-room committee-meetings, the FISA bill will finally reach the Senate floor on Monday! Unfortunately, a previously-reported version of the bill that grants telecom immunity will be presented to the Senate on Monday morning. The clock is ticking. Write your Senators now."

    No, it's those people with the cushy government jobs.

    They really hate it when people bring up Gitmo as an example of the erosion of the rights of the average American. The less then 400 non-American detainees at Gitmo get treated better then the average American in a state run jail. Our soldiers would be more then happy with the same accomodations when captured as opposed to being deheaded on the intertubes.
