GOP and Feinstein Join to Fulfill Obama's Demand for Renewed Warrantless Eavesdropping
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2012-12-30 02:00
"Here we find yet again a defining attribute of the Obama legacy: the transformation of what was until recently a symbol of right-wing radicalism - warrantless eavesdropping - into meekly accepted bipartisan consensus. But it's not just the policies that are so transformed but the mentality and rhetoric that accompanies them: anyone who stands in the way of the US Government's demands for unaccountable, secret power is helping the Terrorists. "The administration has decided the program should be classified", decreed Feinstein, and that is that."
