1) The buck stops with Bush. If the law was broken he should be held accountable.
2) Telecoms acted in good faith.
3) It is reasonable to review phone records involving calls to/from known terrorists.
4) No evidence was produced showing anyone was actually damaged.
5) The litigation would be excessively costly with class action lawsuits.
6) The only real winners would be trial attorneys.
7) The costs of litigation would be passed on to American consumers.
8) US telecoms are already behind international competition, litigation would divert resources from investment.
9) The original legislation lacked clarity.
10) I would have done the same as Bush, given the circumstances.

Wow, amazing. But, you were involved in many of the threads were we went back and forth on this.
Wanna predict what I am going to say when Obama, as President, is going to commit to troops in Iraq through his entire first term?
