Four Alarmer on Day of FISA Cloture Vote: American Author of "Looming Tower" Was Subject of Bush Warrantless Wiretaps. But The New Yorker’s Web site did feature an audio interview with Wright in which he described the visit of FBI agents to his Texas home in 2002 to quiz him about the telephone calls intercepted by U.S. intelligence.

The encounter came, mind you, amid the constant assurances from the Bush administration that the U.S. has not, and is not, “spying on Americans” or running a “warrantless domestic spying program.” This is why Cheney is pushing so hard for telecom immunity, because the next step is to seek immunity for Bush and Cheney.

Jay Rockefeller -- and Harry Reid -- are assisting the felons, whatever Reid says. Rockefeller is outfront about supporting telecom immunity (which will be the precedent for Cheney and Bush immunity). Reid is playing a public relations game, but basically siding with the White House behind the scenes.
