House Dems Proposing Commission to Investigate Warrantless Spying, Still Reject Amnesty | Threat Level from Wired.com
Topic: Surveillance 8:15 pm EDT, Mar 11, 2008

Title 2: Litigation Procedures for Telecommunication Company Liability

• Does not confer retroactive immunity on telecom companies alleged to have assisted in the President’s warrantless surveillance program.

• Provides telecom companies a way to present their defenses in secure proceedings in district court without the Administration using “state secrets” to block those defenses.

Title 3: National Commission on Warrantless Surveillance

• Establishes a bipartisan, National Commission – with subpoena power – to investigate and report to the American people on the Administration’s warrantless surveillance activities, and to recommend procedures and protections for the future.

Its very rare that I see a proposal in Congress that genuinely makes me happy. This is one of those moments.
