Digby explains that the controversial telecom immunity in the FISA bill is really about Bush immunity. "It's beyond clear that the entire brouhaha over FISA comes down to this: Bush wants to keep his lawbreaking secret, and shutting down the ability for courts to get to the bottom of it, sanctioned by the Congress, would do so. They don't want to save the telecoms from financial ruin, they want to stop discovery. In fact, it's very likely that the telecoms have already been indemnified. That's why their main trade group opposes blanket amnesty."
it's an especially good post that summaries a number of things. It's well worth reading in full.
