February 15, 2008

Another Friday, another news dump? We'll review the top stories and newsmakers of the week, plus dig a little deeper into the so-called "Protect America" Act that Bush is quacking so loudly about these days. And if Mensa MAn's fearmongering about upcoming terrorist attacks isn't bad enough, House Republicans have become evern more irrational and ridiculous than Raisin Brain over this issue. Do these neocons really want us to believe that the only thing standing between us and another 9-11-scale attack is unlimited power to listen to our phone calls?

Glenn Greenwald writing for Salon.com put it this way:

What can one even say about this quote, “I think there is probably joy throughout the terrorist cells throughout the world that the United States Congress did not do its duty today,” said Representative Ted Poe, Republican of Texas. This is the kind of pure, unadulterated idiocy — childish, cartoonish and creepy — that Democrats for years have been allowing to bully them into submission, govern our country, and dismantle our Constitution. Outside of Andy McCarthy, Mark Steyn and their roving band of paranoid right-wing bloggers who can’t sleep at night because they think (and hope) that there are dark, primitive “jihadi” super-villains hiding under their beds — along with the Very Serious pundit class which proves their Seriousness by placing blind faith in the fear-mongering pronouncements and demands of our military and intelligence officials for more unchecked power — nobody cares about adolescent Terrorist game-playing like this any longer. In the real world, it doesn’t work, and it hasn’t worked for some time.

Americans are worried and even angry about many things. Whether Osama bin Laden is throwing a party because AT&T and Verizon might have to defend themselves in court isn’t one of them. Outside of National Review, K Street, and the fear-paralyzed imagination of our shrinking faux-warrior class, there is no constituency in America demanding warrantless eavesdropping or amnesty for lawbreaking telecoms.

One other vital point: The claim that telecoms will cease to cooperate without retroactive immunity is deeply dishonest on multiple levels, but the dishonesty is most easily understood when one realizes that, under the law, telecoms are required to cooperate with legal requests from the government. They don’t have the option to “refuse.” Without amnesty, telecoms will be reluctant in the future to break the law again, which we should want. But there is no risk that they will refuse requests to cooperate with legal surveillance, particularly since they are legally obligated to cooperate in those circumstances. The claim the telcoms will cease to cooperate with surveillance requests is pure fear-mongering, and is purely dishonest.


Yawn . . . another Constitutional Right down the loo. Can somebody pass the potato chips? I think American Idol is about the begin. Oh, and did you hear about Brittney's father . . . . .
