Outsourcing Domestic Spying:
"... the government now makes so many requests for wiretaps, phone records and call information that an industry has sprung up to handle the load.  Rather than respond themselves to requests from the FBI and others, a telco can sign up with one of these companies, give them access to their call records and equipment, and let that third party do all the hard work."

No Room For Truth In GOP:
"Specter caved to the White House and modified his already bad bill by taking out the provision which would have had the FISA court rule on its constitutionality ... Not a single Democrat should vote for this bill if it comes to the Senate floor ... It is an abomination and a slap in the face of the American people who simply desire to know the truth: is the government breaking the law or not? But there's no room for truth in this Republican Congress."

Indictment Speculation Heats Up: Rove Or Armitage?
"I'm sure Inman is wrong on Armitage. But I am also sure we'll hear more about Armitage's direct involvement. I am additionally sure we will hear about Armitage as a witness against Rove if he is indicted ... information provided by Richard Armitage is -- more than any other information -- what has put Karl Rove at major risk of indictment."

The Sound of Silence:
"We are all, Karl Rove included, waiting on pins and needles ... Today, will an Indictment be announced or will nothing happen?"

GOP Bribery Scandal Deep And Wide:
"... court papers indicate that the investigation that snared Cunningham -- in which the California Republican, now serving a 10-year sentence in federal prison, admitted that he took millions in bribes -- and led Wade to take a plea deal could go much deeper. At least three other federal investigations involving members of Congress are also underway, linked to questions about whether lawmakers traded the power and influence of their offices for hefty campaign contributions and lavish gifts."
