A Question on a Cave
In case you missed it, Democrats have bizarrely caved on the FISA immunity bill that lets telecom companies get away with spying on Americans on behalf of the Administration. We have the Blue Dogs to thank, it would seem, though I really don't understand - is there some kind of groundswell of public anger in those conservative Dem areas over FISA legislation? From where I sit, it doesn't look like anyone even knows what it is, much less are they clamoring about it.

Anywho, over at War and Piece, Laura Rozen has the question which we can only dream someone in today's press corps might actually ask of Speaker Pelosi.

[UPDATE: Glenn Greenwald's powerful analysis is here.]
