I think they have a few things included in the bill that they don't really care that much about. For example what is the value of not giving telecommunications companies immunity? And, I think Bush will use "national security" as the response to releasing info on past activities. I think on that issue compromise can easily be reached without holding up the bill. Don't you agree?
