Golly! Just now questioned? Some journalists are a bit slow on the uptake. Still I appreciated the thorough detail and support for the article.

Yes, this is a good story and well written and seems to cover things pretty well. Not surprising that McCain is in the pockets of the Telecom criminals. What was the vote to give these thugs a pass? Only 29 senators voted for Democracy and the rest are just no good worthless human beings, including Obama. Hillary voted against this horrible bill and stupid old piece of crap McCain didn't even bother to vote. You will never see stories like this in most mainline newspapers or watch and hear them on the fascistic minded networks and Cable. Too bad we won't have a president with guts next year who will go after Bush and his gang of war criminals.
