Telecom Immunity Bill Hides Spying Provisions 202
Corrupt notes an Ars analysis of the FISA bill of which the telecom immunity provision has been getting all the attention. Timothy B. Lee enumerates the ways in which the bill loosens current protections on domestic wiretapping and opens up whole new areas to government eavesdropping. "The legislation eliminates meaningful judicial oversight of eavesdropping between American citizens and foreigners located overseas, and effectively legalizes dragnet surveillance of domestic-to-foreign traffic. It stretches out the judicial review process so much that the government will in many cases be able to complete its surveillance activities before the courts finish deciding on its legality."

And nations are made up of people so pathetic, idiotic and divorced from reality that they invent these sorts of conspiracy theories. I'm assuming you're a Muslim from a Middle Eastern country or one of the US's homegrown borderline paranoid schizophrenic conspiracy theorists. If the former, remember that your governments lie every bit as much, and you don't have the benefit of a free press. If the latter, go to your doctor and seek treatment, because you're very very ill.
