FISA is to Bush as the Oval Office Tapes were to Richard Nixon
Were it not for the slip of one man's tongue during a hearing we would have never know about the White House tapes and Nixon would never have been impeached. FISA is exactly the same thing for Bush. If immunity is not granted to the telecoms they will have to testify in open court as to what they did at the direction of the Bush Administration and that will lead to his immediate downfall. This is what it is all about, no more, no less. It is not about protecting American companies, it is not about cooperation in the future, it is not about safeguarding Americans. It is about putting a permanent shield against prosecution for George W. Bush and his Administration - the most corrupt, and many would say treasonous, administration ever seen in this country.

1. Nixon did it on a limited scale, resigned. Bush did it on a grand scale, gets an amnesty.

It's like that old saying: When one man dies, it's a tragedy. When millions die, it's a statistic.

3. E-mails = Nixon tapes ** illegal FISA spying = RNC illegal spying on DEMs
Let's not confuse cover ups with the real crimes being covered up!
