Senate sticks it to Bush.. JUST KIDDING!

In a classic display of doublethink the AP reports on the Senate's passage of the spying bill, including an "aye" from appears-to-be President Obama:

Bowing to President Bush's demands, the Senate sent the White House a bill Wednesday overhauling bitterly disputed rules on secret government eavesdropping and shielding telecommunications companies from lawsuits complaining they helped the U.S. spy on Americans.

The relatively one-sided vote, 69-28, came only after a lengthy and heated debate that pitted privacy and civil liberties concerns against the desire to prevent terrorist attacks. It ended almost a year of wrangling over surveillance rules and the president's warrantless wiretapping program that was initiated after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The President's warrantless wiretapping program began before September 11. A fact that makes this immunity for telecommunications companies a special "F-U" to Americans.
