Deal is struck to overhaul wiretap law
By Eric Lichtblau, The New York Times – June 20
After months of wrangling, Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress struck a deal on Thursday to overhaul the rules on the government's wiretapping powers and provide what amounts to legal immunity to the phone companies that took part in President Bush's program of eavesdropping without warrants after the Sept. 11 attacks. The deal, expanding the government's powers to spy on terrorism suspects in some major respects, would strengthen the ability of intelligence officials to eavesdrop on foreign targets. ''No matter how they spin it, this is still immunity,'' said Kevin Bankston, a senior lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation a pro-privacy group that is a plaintiff suing over the wiretapping program. ''It's not compromise; it's pure theater.'' Kevin Bankston is a former Equal Justice Works Fellow.
