Senate bows to Bush,
approves surveillance bill


July 10, 2008 - Associated Press, by Pamela Hess

WASHINGTON - Bowing to President Bush's demands, the Senate approved and sent the White House a bill Wednesday to overhaul bitterly disputed rules on secret government eavesdropping and shield 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.

Yet more evidence that the two party system is a piece of crap and two faces in the same deck of cards.
