Thank you, U.S. Senate for your latest cave in to the Bush-Cheney ongoing dictatorship!

It isn't enough to endorse wire tapping.  

Let's go ahead and render the huge corporations that do it an invulnerable status.  Why should they be subjected to troublesome lawsuits for following the old John McCain maxim of "We are at war"! meaning perpetual war for perpetual peace?

If we intend to be at war in Iraq for at least 100 years then it makes logical sense to snoop on citizens in the very country whose symbol of freedom you have guaranteed to export all over the world!
