   So, Turkey has already obtained U.S. nuclear secrets via the black market and the Bush administration is now trying to cover it up by officially authorizing it after the fact. Is this right?

   I’m fuzzy on the enacted legislation within 90 days. How does this help? The truth is the truth regardless of timelines. Lots of stuff has been covered up only to be uncovered years later.

   What am I missing?

   Thanks,

   – Tom

   Well, this administration is playing the same strategy with FISA and domestic spying aren’t they. First they try and get the congress to pass fully legislation that would make what they are doing “legal” (though arguably still unconstitutional as well as illegal from most people’s perspective), and then they’re trying to grant themselves and companies retroactive immunity with the latest FISA bill.

   They are going to do the same thing here. They will first try to “legitimize” us giving nuclear or other WMD secrets to Turkey. Then they’ll try and to the retroactive immunity towards any companies involved with this too.

   By giving retroactive immunity to the companies involved, they are of covering their own butt too, preventing civil lawsuits that might force their “state secrets” hands to stop which also stops scrutiny of the facts that would criminalize those in the government as well.

   This is a group of criminals in charge we are dealing with now. Let’s not forget that!

   Thanks again for good reporting inside the fascist country of America.How can passing legislation after a crime is committed to say o.k…..not a crime.. have anything to do with justice. How about the black boy in the south who got 16 years in prison for stealing a candy bar. Scooter Libby free as a bird.
