on telecom immunity

First off, the very concept is reprehensible. But, coming from the Bush administration, that's only to be expected. However, there's a major misperception here: that Bush is actually trying to shield the telecoms from liability. No, no, no, no!

Bush is trying to shield himself from scrutiny. That's what it's always been about. He doesn't care about the telecoms any more than he does anyone else.
