FISA UPDATE

Once again, McJoan at Daily Kos is on top of the telecom immunity issue, this time about the emails and other documents that were exchanged between the telecoms and the administration as they tried to push the measure through the Senate.
Meanwhile Steny Hoyer apparently is working behind the scenes to persuade the Blue Dog Dems in the House to go along with immunity, rumored to be emerging as an amendment to a supplemental budget bill. Ah, democracy.
The fight ain't over, folks.

Money quote:
If one thing in the whole amnesty debate wasn't already clear, this information absolutely crystallizes it. This fight has nothing to do with national security. It has everything to do with megacorporations breaking the law and doing everything in their power to get away with it--including getting advice from the Department of Justice about how to do so!
