Some Telecom Companies Would Receive Immunity

Solaris17 · Oct 19, 2007

Senate Democrats and Republicans reached agreement with the Bush administration yesterday on the terms of new legislation to control the federal government's domestic surveillance program, which includes a highly controversial grant of legal immunity to telecommunications companies that have assisted the program, according to congressional sources.

Yea, like the ones that allow us to choose which doctors to go to, and when we want to see them, and for what reasons.

Anyway, I doubt the government is interested in spying on your boring lives. I'm willing to give up my "basic freedom" of the extremely small chance that the government will ever listen in on my phone calls for the sake of spying on known terrorists who may be planning an attack to kill people in my country.

Besides, if they catch you doing something not terrorist related, they can't do anything to you.

Remember when the R.Kelly case with video of him peeing on a 14 year old girl was released because "the methods in which the tape were obtained were illegal". This is the same concept.

Lol your comparing warantless wire tapping by our government to a R. Kelly video of him pissing on a girl! :laugh:

Seriously, your willing to give up your freedoms for something that you have no evidence of it helping us whatsoever? Cheers to the demise of our freedoms. :toast:

Here's to the New World Order :toast:

Watch this: TerrorStorm
"TerrorStorm goes into documented cases of government-sponsored terror before exposing the 7/7 bombings as an orchestrated event and brings another update on the current state of the 9/11 Truth Movement."

Im so happy that i live in Finlad, what else are your government planin to "protect" you from the empire of evill. Sounds to me that us government is buildin their own evill empire where your constitutional rights mean nothing and thats a bit scary.
