Wiretapping Law Would Have Expired Friday But Bush Extends It

From the "Voice of America News"

"A six-month extension of that law would have expired Friday. After vowing to veto a 30-day extension, President Bush told political supporters in the city of Las Vegas that he agreed to a two-week extension so lawmakers can approve broader powers to wiretap without court approval and give legal immunity to telephone companies that have helped monitor those communications...the two-week extension passed the House by voice vote and the Senate by unanimous consent."

So, legal protection for corporations, not for citizens - nevermind Government by and for the people, lets have it for what people have to buy! Great idea! And then use it to spy! Buy and spy - there's a new slogan for AT&T.
