Glenn Greenwald’s piece on the Specter bill etc. is very good. He has some advice for the Democrats in Congress:

“With just the smallest amount of resolve and message discipline, they can easily convey that this is not a debate about whether to eavesdrop on Al Qaeda–everyone is for that–but is about whether George Bush should have the power to eavesdrop on Americans with no oversight, an awesome power which this country overwhelmingly decided 30 years ago, in the wake of decades of abuses, that we do not trust the President–any President–to have.”

Guys, this Specter “compromise” is shaping up to be a giveaway to Bush.

GReenwald’s take;

http://glenngreenwald.blogspot…..ke-of.html

I know we’re defending/attacking on all fronts, but IMO this one is the biggest. Eavesdropping without oversight allows all kinds of foul-play. And we know these guys have no scruples. Imagine what could go on.

I’m thinking that if Fitzgerald has taken Rove “off the hook” he has also helped open the door, right before the statute expired, on the “need for secrecy” issue. And he has certainly made several references to there being evidence of conceted, coordinated efforts to discredit the Wilsons, which helps paper their “need” issues IMO.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Here’s hoping the case hangs on to get to discovery.
