Attorney General Pulls Immunity Trigger, Denies 'Dragnet' Surveillance -- Update | Threat Level from Wired.com

"U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey on Saturday denied that the Bush administration -- in conjunction with the nation's telecommunication companies -- devised a 'dragnet' electronic surveillance program that funneled Americans' communications to the National Security Agency without court warrants...

...Despite Mukasey's denial, contained in a court filing (.pdf) made public Saturday, Mukasey asked a federal judge to grant immunity to the nation's telecommunications companies accused of assisting with the alleged surveillance dragnet."

Come again? You didn't do it, but you want immunity for those who "didn't" do it with you?

We are idiots. Pluperfect, fucking idiots for allowing these hyenas to run helter-skelter roughshod over Us.
