"JUST BECAUSE A DEFENSE ATTORNEY FILES A MOTION IN A LAWSUIT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS THE OFFICIAL POLICY POSITION OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. The attorney is merely conducting a DEFENSE OF HIS CLIENT and TRYING TO WIN HIS CASE. This is what attorneys do."

Now correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't it usually a standard that the defense attorney work with their client when filing a motion in a lawsuit? And doesn't that attorney/client agreement make it "official policy"?


One other thing, how do you know what is or isn't the "OFFICIAL POLICY POSITION OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION"?

If it isn't the official policy then why use a piece of drivel like the "States Secrecy Act", to defend the companies that participated in the "illegal" wiretapping

I believe that the current administration will hide behind most of the drivel you stated, in the hopes that the congress will actually do soemthing about it. But it seems that the members of congress lack the courage to confront this and are taking their cues from the administration which is waiting for congress to make the first move.

In other words, nothing will be done by either the administration or the congress, and we all get to wonder what will happen when someone worse then Bush gets into the White House.

Have a nice day.:)
