New FISA Bill Would Grant Telcoms Immunity; Vote Is Tomorrow
An anonymous reader writes "This just in: a new 'compromise' FISA Bill (PDF) was just made public, which, the Electronic Frontier Foundation reports, 'contains blanket immunity for telecoms that helped the NSA break the law and spy on millions of ordinary Americans.' The House vote is tomorrow, June 20. After all the secret rooms and everything ... if they get immunity and the public never finds out what happened, the only other logical next step is to convince everyone I know not to get an iPhone." CNN covers this get-out-of-lawsuit play as well.
Do I get transferred to a call center in China?

Unfortunately, only half of the US house is up for re-election this year. And in all likelihood, we'll find that of that half, the ones that vote yes for this bill will come from the states most paranoid of terrorism (and other such political fairy tales).

Please, somebody, anybody.
A nuke, dirty nuke, anything. Blow them all the hell and back.
They sold out humanity to the highest bidder, some even think aliens. See the Dulce Papers.

FUCK THE UNITED STATES OF CORRUPTION AND THE ZIONIST TRASH
You sir have anger problems :) So you won an argument on the internet congratulations :) Or is it that this issue makes you angry because other people like Notguitecajun raised a question for people on slashdot to answer and you think he is a jackass because of it. Either way I hope your day goes better for you and whatever is bothering you in your life changes.
I smoked pot once. But I DID NOT inhale. Will you hire me?
*hug* I think you need a hug. You will find someone that makes you happy. Maybe not on slashdot, but someone, somewhere. On another note, if you don't like the amnesty bill write your congressman or senator. Calling people a jackass on slashdot wont get the bill changed. That is like bitching to the bum on the street because you lost your keys. Yeah that doesn't make any fucking sense either and neither does you calling people a jackass on slashdot instead of calling your representative.
I smoked pot once. But I DID NOT inhale. Will you hire me?
I got it, have a bake sale and on the back of each box post your views on the issue. Shit you only have one day...hmm hey how about rent a plane and fly one of those big banners, like the ones that say "Eat at Joe's". Well since this is a democrat controlled congress surely they will not pass this bill...right? Right? Right? Oh fuck cant blame Bush any more :)

STFU, fucking troll. REPUBLICAN troll.
Captain Obama will save you!
If you think for one stinking minute that liberals and ultra left wing closet marxist liberals like Barak Obama and Co. have a better solution, your as dumb as they come.
All of this and I mean all of it, War, Perpetual Poverty, Societal Decay and now this loss of additional Privacy Protection has come about because of Liberals and Liberalism and is a direct result of the following-
Their flawed and idiotic ideology of appeasement and inaction in the 90's of which they want to return to once elected later this year has ushered in more than just 9/11 and the resulting unnecessary bureacracy which has resulted in the growth of the "spy sector" if you will.
You have no one to blame but yourselves you dopes once again, you are reaping it all and are nto done yet, enjoy your miserable ride
P.S. If you really want or understand meaningful privacy, you'll engage in some face time instead of hiding behind your keyboards
So when the United States puts death threats on other countries/people/it's own citizens it is okay?
Ohh I see, death threats are only allowed if the United States of America makes them, I understand the rules now, thank you for clearing that up for everyone.
Back at the NSA: "Some troll on slashdot calls for nuclear war, we MUST use or wiretapping powers to stop this troll from carrying out his plans."
I think your dipshitted yap is hypocritical and short sighted.
Gosh, I love it when a guy stands up and brags about his own ignorance.
Read the text of the law, and the details of how it maneuvers through anticipated judicial appeals, with the 'right', granted in the law, to keep breaking the law as the 'case' slowly winds its way through the system.
Oops, I forgot, you're an ignorant fuck, and proud! of it, so I suppose acquainting yourself with the details is counterproductive, or 'for sissies', eh?
Oh well, then have fun being a self-admitted moron, loser. Oh, and enjoy your ER palliative triage morphine in lieu of 'socialist' health care, too. And relax, as the cancer eats its way through your useless, wasted, ignorant rotting flesh, the morphine will make it all better... um, for all of us, in your case.
No, the problem is that your spouting opinion as fact. There is no hard evidence, just speculation, showing that we were deliberately lied to. It could very well be true that the president actually believe in what he was saying. This could be because of people around him shaping the information he received, it could be because of some inherent flaw in his logic, and it could be a number of things outside of a blatant lie.
Now I don't think ratings would increase, in Olbermann's situation, the station was loosing viewers and it only brought people who already disliked bush to that station. It didn't motivate people who weren't looking for news already and it didn't create new viewers. The lack of bashing the president doesn't create viewers or keep them either. The entertainment and content being presented does.
You most likely wrong on the ratings outside of a specticle or freak show type thing. And your right, news about the administration is more important then news about a cat in a tree.... or was it a swan in a tree on CNN a couple months ago?
Anyways your off on them not reporting it. You see, they have reported on it. What they did was give the facts that allowed you to form your opinion. Right or wrong, opinion is opinion and facts are still facts. Your essentially saying you won't watch news channels because they won't admit that they agree with you. The news reports the story, it doesn't tell you what to think about the story. That is what bashing the president would be doing.
I don't know if your right or wrong, I havn't done or seen any legitimate studies one way or another. But you have to keep in mind that the cheapest way to publish something is with print. When you gather information, you don't make a movie to store it, you write it down. When you evaluate that information and come to a conclusion, you don't make a radio program or a TV show, you document your finding. So your observation will be skewed by the shear perplexity of creating a TV show and the availability of resources and all.
Something else to consider is,
