Here is my bottom line:
1) What was done was done. The best we can do going forward, in my opinion, is to make sure the President and Congress work together to make sure we have a system in place that accomplishes the goals on both sides of the issue.
2) On the issue of immunity - We will not be served if through litigation certain things related to this are made public. For example: If you have a neighbor (US citizen in the USA) who was innocently, in regular contact by phone with a known terrorist overseas and the administration tracked that activity but took no action - what happens if that is made public? How are we going to benefit? What is going to happen to your neighbor? In my view nobody wins, telecoms spend millions in defense costs, we are not made safer, and your neighbor's life may be ruined. Congress needs to put this issue to rest.
