John McCain flip-flops on retroactive immunity for telecoms

AT&T and several other wireless providers may have violated Federal law when they complied with warrantless wiretapping requests. The practice of spying without even a warrant at a rubber stamp kangaroo court should be unconscionable in a democracy. Indeed, McCain previously criticized the telecom companies and the Bush administration on this issue. However, he is also in support of a Senate bill that would retroactively grant those companies immunity from prosecution on this issue.
