John Aschcroft Talks Telecom Immunity in Op-Ed

November 5, 2007 · Filed Under National Security, Terrorism, U.S. News 

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft has a very good Op-Ed in the NY Times today about immunity for telecom companies that cooperated on the War on Terror.

The National Security Agency asked the various telecommunications companies in the U.S. for assistance in listening to terrorist phone calls. The Justice Department sent each company a letter assuring them that it would be totally legal for them to cooperate and they need not fear legal reprisals should the programs ever become public.

Of course as with everything the program did become public. Now Democrats want angry, left wing customers of the telecom companies to have the right to sue for hundreds of millions of dollars for invasion of privacy.

The ultimate goal of the Democrats is not for customers to win big money, but to have the details of our intelligence programs exposed in open court.

This will serve to make President Bush look bad, and weaken our National Security which just happens to be the two most important things to Democrats.

    My life is an open book. I have nothing to hide. Only those who oppose keeping the USA protected, from the wicked terrorists, want to punish the telecommunications who have helped to keep us free from another 911 attack. Only people who have something to hide, those who are guilty, want their lives as a “CLOSED BOOK.” May these ugly self-glorifying, power seekers, who care nothing about protecting our shores, hike to hell and allow the USA to remain free!!!!!!!!!
