Targets

I did not think that the arguments in favor of telecom immunity could get any more ridiculous, but they have.

Today, John Cornyn and Orrin Hatch both argued that one of the reasons the telecoms must receive immunity for their lawbreaking is that their employees might become targets of the terrorists if we ever learn what these companies did to assist the government with its warrantless wiretapping.

Are there no Republicans who believe anymore in the rule of law?

Regarding Valerie Plame Wilson, former undercover CIA operative working on nuclear proliferation in Iran:

She wasn't a covert agent.
