Senate Supports Telecom Immunity in Spy Suits
The Senate voted to deny an amendment to the revision of the intelligence laws that would prevent the telecoms from receiving retroactive immunity for cooperating with the government for spying. Obama votes for the amendment. Clinton and McCain vote against. Guess where AT&T's candidate donations will be going. It's still not clear what's going to happen, as the House version of the bill has no immunity provision. Here's what the Vice President thinks: "[T]hey want more time to let the opponents sort of air their grievances and probably vote on some more amendments before we go to final passage."
More here from the Washington Post on the vote, and here from CNET on the candidates' positions.
